Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced on Friday she is sending a sizable donation toward Michigan Senate nominee Abdul el Sayed’s campaign, as Democrats fight to stave off Republican hopes of flipping the seat red in November.

After campaigning alongside el Sayed in the battleground state on Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez said during an event in Pontiac the following day that she is transferring $1 million from her New York coffers to his Senate campaign. The funds will be directed toward the Abdul for Michigan Victory Fund, a joint effort between his campaign, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee. The New York congresswoman’s donation comes as she appears to be a prolific fundraiser, entering October with nearly $17.4 million in the bank, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
