Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress

What Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress does

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress is a federally registered political campaign committee serving New York's 14th congressional district (NY-14), headquartered in the Bronx, New York, with a stated headcount of 11-50. Founded in 2018 to support Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's initial congressional bid, the committee operates as a privately organized campaign entity rather than a traditional corporation. Its primary function is to engage NY-14 voters and progressive supporters, mobilize grassroots volunteers, and solicit individual political contributions, with the principal digital hub at ocasiocortez.com.

The committee's core digital infrastructure is the campaign website, which integrates multiple modules into one experience: a donation processing interface via ActBlue, an email newsletter sign-up, SMS text-message campaign alerts, volunteer recruitment, and voter-facing resource content including Homework Helpers, Flooding in NY information, and Fact Checks. The technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary, built on third-party integrations including Google Analytics for traffic analysis and Google Ads for retargeting campaigns. The committee maintains an active social media presence across Twitter (AOC and teamaoc), Facebook (OcasioCortez), Instagram (teamaoc), and YouTube (aoc), which serve as the primary top-of-funnel engagement channels. The website meets W3C WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, is COPPA-compliant, and includes Spanish-language support.

The committee's revenue model centers on individual political contributions processed through ActBlue, with FEC-regulated contribution limits and public disclosure requirements for donations exceeding $200. There is no product or service pricing; funding flows from many small-dollar individual donors rather than institutional or corporate sources, and the committee does not disclose revenue figures in a corporate manner. The value proposition is non-commercial — representation, policy advocacy, and grassroots mobilization around progressive positions including the Green New Deal — and the committee competes for voter support and donor dollars in a contested electoral environment.
