FEC Complaint Against New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Cite Misuse of House
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez allegedly obtained a congressional email address for her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, even though he was not employed by her office. Our complaint made the case that this constitutes misuse of official House resources, violating ethics rules that restrict personal use of government services. This followed a previous complaint the foundation filed with the FEC, which alleged that Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign and an affiliated PAC funneled thousands of dollars in payments to Riley Roberts during the early stages of her campaign, potentially violating campaign finance laws prohibiting personal use of campaign funds. Together, the filings add to ongoing scrutiny of Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign and office operations, including separate allegations that her former chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, used PACs and private companies to obscure nearly $1 million in campaign-related transfers.
