Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Democratic primary challenger Marty Dolan is not holding back in his criticism of the congresswoman. Dolan has accused AOC of neglecting her New York district in favor of seeking the spotlight and fame.
During an appearance on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show, Dolan blasted Ocasio-Cortez for being absent when it comes to addressing important issues in the 14th district. He highlighted concerns about rising crime rates, illegal immigration, and inflation that have been plaguing the area.

Dolan, who describes himself as an experienced strategist and financial adviser, emphasized the need to prioritize community safety and economic stability. He pointed out specific incidents of violent crime that have occurred recently, including attacks on police officers and teenagers.
Furthermore, Dolan criticized Ocasio-Cortez’s approach to economic policies, attributing inflation to what he views as excessive government spending on social programs. He emphasized the struggles faced by small businesses in New York City and highlighted his endorsement by a conservative small business group.
In contrast to Ocasio-Cortez’s progressive agenda, Dolan is campaigning on a platform that includes support for law enforcement, immigration reform, and job creation. He presents himself as a more moderate alternative to the “radical” politics of his opponent, appealing to voters who he believes are growing weary of extreme ideologies in government.
