AOC Campaign Spends Nearly $50K on Hotels, Meals, and Venue Rental in Puerto Rico: Report

The campaign justified nearly $50,000 in expenses for hotels, meals, and a $23,000 venue rental to support local causes and events requiring staff and security.

  • Fox first reported that the campaign spent nearly $50K in Puerto Rico on luxury hotels and pricey meals, including a $23K venue rental in San Juan, per campaign records.
  • The campaign framed the trips as part of AOC's national "Fighting Oligarchy" outreach, saying she regularly travels to Puerto Rico to support local causes and host events needing staff and security.
  • The filings link a $23,000 rental to the same San Juan arena where AOC attended a Bad Bunny concert during an August trip.
  • Social media users reacted with a mix of criticism and defense after The Post's story, with some criticizing pricey hotels and the Bad Bunny concert overlap.
  • As a national progressive star, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's recent national profile and touring amplify scrutiny of her campaign spending in Puerto Rico.
