Marty Dolan, a Wall Street investor and businessman, has announced he will primary challenge Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez in New York’s 14th congressional district.

Dolan criticized Ocasio-Cortez and other “progressives” as “radicals whose influence has drifted the Democratic Party too far left”.

He argued their policies have failed New Yorkers by implementing disastrous bail reform, defunding the police, and chasing out taxpayers.

Dolan says the party must restore sanity and address issues like income inequality and regional tax differences.

“I am excited to formally announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for New York’s 14th Congressional District,” Dolan said.

His campaign aims to be a referendum on whether voters are better or worse off following radical policies.

“The June 25th, 2024, primary will be a referendum: Are we better or worse off from following radical policies?” he asked.

Dolan pitches himself as wanting to reset society in honor of Alexander Hamilton and the country’s founders by harmonizing social policies across regions.

“The impact in NYC is obvious: bail reform a disaster, the National Guard in the subway, toothpaste locked up in drugstores but criminals running free, scarce resources directed to (non-sanctuary) immigrants coming from all over the world,” Dolan said.

“These difficulties must be addressed in the context of a runaway $34 trillion federal debt and NYC’s 14% marginal tax rate,” he added. “Regional tax inequality is far more exaggerated in the USA than in any other country.”

“The radicals can’t deliver more than breadcrumbs when they ignore that the primary breadwinners are leaving and brush off taxpayer concerns in favor of abstract populist ideologies,” Dolan said.

“Enough is enough.”

“We have just drifted off course.”

“We also urgently need to ‘reset’ our society’s income inequality and harmonize regional differences in social policy,” Dolan stated. “We call our approach the ‘Hamilton Plan v. 2.0’ in honor of one of our greatest New Yorkers, Alexander Hamilton, who forged the independent colonies into a great republic.”
