💨 Abstract

The House Ethics Committee ordered Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to make additional payments for her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala, where she wore a "tax the rich" dress. The panel found she underpaid for some services and clothing, and accepted a free ticket for her partner. Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged the ruling and agreed to pay the remaining amounts. Separately, the committee formally reproved Rep.
