Marty Dolan, a 66-year-old investment banker, hopes to unseat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for New York’s 14th Congressional District, but he faces an uphill climb.

The New York congresswoman also has a war chest of roughly $5 million cash on hand, far above Dolan’s $6,700, according to campaign finance records.
