New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez s new political action committee raised over $69,000 on Saturday, its first day of public fundraising, showcasing her influence amid a feud with senior House Democrats .

Ocasio-Cortezs campaign, which shared in the proceeds from email and Twitter fundraising appeals for the PAC, also raked in about $100,000 on Saturday according to official data that Ocasio-Cortezs campaign shared with HuffPost.

On its own, the PAC, Courage to Change, received over 4,600 donations, as of late Saturday night, in amounts that averaged under $15.

Its a very exciting launch, Ocasio-Cortez campaign spokesman Corbin Trent said. When I see so many people stand up and say they are ready to change not just D.C., but the country, it fills me with hope.

Ocasio-Cortez launched Courage to Change to support both progressive incumbent Democrats and primary challengers whose positions are close to her own. (She has thus far endorsed progressives taking on conservative Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas and Dan Lipinski of Illinois.)
