By Carl Campanile June 16, 2020

The GOP-backing husband of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Democratic primary challenger has been pumping money into a super PAC intended to end the freshman firebrand’s congressional career at one term, campaign records reveal.

Michelle Caruso-Cabrera’s husband, investment banker and Republican Party donor Stephen Dizard, is listed as the largest donor in the super PAC named Fight For Our Communities, according to an initial report filed with the Federal Elections Commission.

Dizard contributed two donations totaling $30,000 in April — nearly three-quarters of the $42,500 raised.

Wall Street takes aim at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in party primary
Blackstone’s Schwarzman and Goldman’s Solomon among donors to her challenger in Democratic race

Some of Wall Street’s most powerful figures have poured money into the campaign to defeat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her bid for re-election to the US House of Representatives, underscoring the self-described Democratic socialist’s tense relationship with her city’s most prominent industry.

Donors including Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman and David Solomon of Goldman Sachs have lined up behind Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a former CNBC television journalist who is challenging Ms Ocasio-Cortez in the June 23 Democratic primary election in New York’s 14th congressional district.

Because the district, which covers parts of the New York City boroughs of Queens and the Bronx, is mainly Democratic, the winner of the primary would be the odds-on favourite in the November 3 general election.
