According to an account in 'The Hill to Die On,' a new book by Politico reporters Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer, former New York Representative Joe Crowley didn't want to be seen as fighting dirty for what should have been an easy re-election.
When Representaive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York unseated 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in 2018, it was viewed as one of the biggest upsets of a historic midterm election season.
Ocasio-Cortez ended up beating Crowley by almost 15 points, stunning the Democratic establishment and vanquishing a 20-year, 10-term incumbent who had been considered a possible House speaker if the Democrats regained the House. According to the New York Post, the fodder included questionable financing practices employed by Ocasio-Cortez’s team. The conservative National Legal and Policy Center claimed earlier this year that Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign had used two political action committees to transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars into a limited-liability company to dodge campaign finance laws. The issue became public this year, but Crowley’s aides knew about it during the election, the Post said.
