Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.
Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.
Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.
Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
She has to have two places one in DC and one in her district. She like.y cannot afford that at her salary as both places are extremely expensive
Well, according to the rules, she does. A lot of congress critters live in their DC office. It’s against city health code regulations, but there’s nobody who can tell them no. It’s the worst kept secret in Washington.
I don’t know if AOC herself does this or not.
Damn renting twice?
Yeah Manhattan rent for office and home plus DC home. That has to be half of that salary right there.
edit: Two rents Im wrong about the office apparently.
District offices are paid for from House office budgets.
Thanks I edited my comment
