Watch out, AOC — MCC is gunning for your congressional seat.

Former CNBC cable TV journalist Michelle Caruso-Cabrera filed the paperwork this week to take on firebrand Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in this year’s Democratic primary for the 14th Congressional District in Queens and The Bronx.

Caruso-Cabrera boasts a similarly hardscrabble story of growing up in New York to AOC’s — she says she once worked as a waitress while the 30-year-old congresswoman was employed as a bartender.

Caruso-Cabrera has even chosen a similar moniker — wanting to be known as MCC.

“I am the daughter and granddaughter of working-class Italian and Cuban immigrants,” she said in a statement.

“I am so lucky to have had such a wonderful career and I want everybody to have the opportunity that I’ve had.”

On her Twitter page, Caruso-Cabrera said she’s running to “fight for the people of Queens & the Bronx.”

Caruso-Cabrera apparently plans to make that fight with a more conservative philosophy than AOC.

While the sitting congresswoman is a proud democratic socialist who backs Bernie Sanders, MCC has named Ronald Reagan as her favorite president and even published a book on small government in 2010 titled: “You Know I’m Right: More Prosperity, Less Government.”

In the book, she knocks the policies of Democrats and Republicans alike. “I want a government that stays out of my pocketbook and stays out of my public life. I find it frustrating that the Democrats think I want to keep paying for their big government and endless spending projects,” she wrote.

“But I am equally annoyed that the Republicans turned their backs on a voter like me and now think it’s okay to run my personal affairs at the expense of fiscal issues.”

Fluent in Spanish, Caruso-Cabrera, 53, was a reporter and anchor at CNBC for more than 20 years, covering news in Cuba, Iran, Ukraine, Iraq, Italy, Russia and Latin American, according to her campaign Web site.

She was named one of the “100 Most Influential Hispanics” in the country by Hispanic Business Magazine.

Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s economic adviser, wrote the foreword for Caruso-Cabrera’s book when he was the host of “The Kudlow Report” on CNBC.

Ocasio-Cortez’s spokesman didn’t return a request for comment. On Monday, she warmed up the crowd at a Sanders rally in New Hampshire on the eve of the primary vote.

Ocasio-Cortez told the crowd that the Vermont senator would move them forward.

“Forward to a multiracial democracy, forward to guaranteed health care, forward to a living wage . . . Forward! Forward! Forward!,” she said.

Four other Democrats are challenging Ocasio-Cortez in the 2020 primary, and eight Republicans are running.
