Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is getting heat from her New York City constituents who say she’s barely ever around to answer their questions because she’s too busy jet-setting around the country attacking oligarchs and billionaires.

AOC represents the roughly 700,000 people who live in New York’s 14th Congressional District, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens.

‘This woman has done nothing for the community she was once again elected to serve,’ Lauro Vazquez of Woodside, Queens, told the New York Post for piece that was published Saturday morning.

Vazquez and others feel that AOC is neglecting the ‘mundane’ issues they care about – jobs, public safety and traffic – in favor of giving campaign-style speeches to set up a possible run at the White House in 2028.

Constituents report that her district offices – which she gets $1.9 million in funding to run – are often closed. 

One of them is open on a single weekday and the other is closed on Fridays, with phones frequently going unanswered and a voicemail message telling them to make an appointment with the congresswoman. 

Since March 20, AOC has been routinely joining Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on his ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour, which has stopped in eight different states thus far.

The pair of democratic socialists were photographed exiting a private jet in California in late April.

The pair of socialists were spotted traveling in a private jet in late April while on the tour, which many see as a move from AOC to boost her national profile ahead of a possible White House run in 2028

This prompted many to criticize them for their supposed hypocrisy on climate change and the wealthy, who are typically the only people able to afford private air travel.

Local frustration with AOC culminated on May 2 when she attended a town hall in Jackson Heights, a neighborhood in Queens, only to leave after spending less than an hour in the packed auditorium.

She only took six questions and reportedly left in a black SUV. The public meeting had already been postponed past its original date because she got sick, according to her staff.

Her town halls used to be a monthly occurrence. Now they happen once in a blue moon. 

One of the things constituents had wanted her to address was the controversial $8 billion casino proposal by Steve Cohen, the billionaire owner of the New York Mets.

The large-scale entertainment complex Cohen envisions around Citi Field, which is in Queens, would include bars, restaurants, hotels, conference spaces and a renovated train station.

There’s also the planned casino by Bally’s in Throggs Neck, which would border the gaming company’s golf course in the Bronx neighborhood.

AOC responded by saying she was essentially powerless to intervene, even though she is against both proposals.

‘In terms of the process, I will say that formally I don’t have a vote in this. All of your city and state electeds, the city council person, your state rep, your state senator, they have to vote on it. I’m not included in that committee,’ she said in response to a question.

She also mentioned that Citi Field is no longer in her district since new lines were drawn after the 2020 Census.

Critics have argued that AOC is willing to speak out on an issue if it suits her, even if its not in her district.

In 2021, for example, she volunteered to work at a food bank in Houston after the state was hit hard by winter storms. Constituents told the Post she did little that year to help her own constituents who were slammed by Hurricane Ida.

Left wing critics have said she hasn’t done enough to raise awareness of the Trump administration’s decision to cancel $200 million in grants for cloudburst projects that would have helped absorb heavy rain.

Some of the projects would have been set up in areas of Queens that are frequently flooded.

Also, AOC strongly advocated for Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate student who was detained by ICE following his involvement in last year’s anti-Israel protests on the Ivy League campus. Khalil is not a constituent of AOC’s.

Others have directed their ire at her for sabotaging economic development in her district – mainly pointing at her decision to kill a deal that would have brought an Amazon headquarters to Queens in 2018.

The deal was estimated to bring 25,000 jobs to the area, but AOC rejected it because she felt Amazon wasn’t committed enough to ‘living wages.’ 

‘We need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent. Corporations that offer none of those things should be met w/ skepticism,’ she wrote on Twitter at the time.

AOC has two district offices, one in Astoria and one in Hunts Point. Constituents have reported having trouble getting in touch with staff at both buildings.

The Astoria location is open only one day a week and shared with Councilwoman Tiffany Caban, another socialist lawmaker.

According to the Post, Caban’s workers often take messages from AOC’s constituents since the congresswoman often has no staff there.

The Astoria office also has a sign at the door demanding constituents meet with her staff by ‘appointment only.’ 

The Hunts Point location, AOC’s main office, is closed Fridays and its workers go on long lunch breaks on Monday through Thursday, the Post reported. 

And to even talk to a worker at Hunts Point, constituents have to give their personal information first. 

Councilman Robert Holden, a moderate Queens Democrat, said he ‘hears from her constituents constantly — and AOC is nowhere to be found.’

‘She can’t be bothered doing mundane constituent services like addressing quality of life issues in her district,’ Holden added. ‘She’s too busy trying to make our entire country into a carbon copy of the failed Soviet Union — Queens and the Bronx deserve better.’
