Rep. Elise Stefanik — the upstate lawmaker who became an overnight GOP superstar with her performance in the impeachment inquiry — raised a whopping $3.2 million in campaign contributions over the last quarter of 2019, beating out Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Schiff, the House Democratic chief impeachment inquisitor, raked in $2.5 million, while democratic-socialist darling Ocasio-Cortez collected $1.9 million in the same period.

Stefanik (R-Schulerville) shot to stardom in November thanks to her aggressive questioning of witnesses who testified before the House Intelligence Committee about President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.

Trump was so impressed that he tapped Stefanik to be one of his advocates during the Senate trial.

Elise Stefanik rises as GOP impeachment star: ‘I am proudly the opposite of AOC’


Stefanik — who told The Post last November that she’s “proudly the opposite of AOC” — raised $3.2 million from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31 for her re-election bid and spent $1.2 million, records show. She had $3.4 million in cash on hand.

But the 35-year-old’s role in defending Trump also helped generate a gush of cash for her Democratic opponent, Tedra Cobb, who raised $2 million in contributions and has $2.2 million in cash on hand.

Stefanik defeated Cobb in 2018, earning 56.1% of the vote to her lefty challenger’s 42.4%.

She was first elected in 2014 to represent upstate communities north of Albany to the Canadian border, including the expansive Adirondack region.
