Welder, a former organizer for both Sanders and former President Obama's campaigns, is one of the few candidates that Ocasio-Cortez has stumped for since becoming a national political figure.

"This national campaign isn't just about showing that progressive values can win in other parts of the country -- but that an unapologetically progressive platform that combats the influence of corporate money in our political system is the key to winning in these swing districts," Ocasio-Cortez said in a press release before last week's rally.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez also campaigned for House candidates James Thompson in Kansas and Cori Bush in Missouri.

Welder, who faces a crowded Democratic primary Aug. 7, was already the leading in second quarter fundraising.

A February poll conducted on behalf of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee showed Welder leading Yoder by 7 points in a potential general election matchup.

Ocasio-Cortez is set to attend a rally for Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) this Saturday.
