U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became the latest New York elected official to receive suspicious mail Tuesday after an envelope containing white powder was delivered to her Hunts Point district office in the Bronx, police confirmed.

The incident at AOC's office came just four days after a similar envelope prompted a hazardous materials response at fellow Bronx U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres' district office , where six people were exposed to a substance later determined to be non-hazardous.

Police received a 911 call for assistance at 1:26 p.m. on Oct. 20 at Ocasio-Cortez's office at 1231 Lafayette Ave., according to an NYPD spokesperson. Officers from the 41st Precinct responded and discovered an envelope containing suspicious white powder.

The substance was subsequently determined to be non-hazardous, and no injuries or symptoms were reported, the spokesperson said. The investigation remains ongoing. In a statement, Ocasio-Cortez said the letter was consistent with suspicious mailings sent to dozens of elected officials across the country. "Today, my Hunts Point District Office received a suspicious letter consistent with those received by dozens of elected officials across the country," she said. "I am grateful to local and federal law enforcement who quickly responded to investigate the matter and worked to ensure the safety of my staff."

The FBI and U.S. Capitol Police were also investigating the letter, according to the congresswoman's office, as authorities investigate a series of suspicious mailings sent to elected officials across the country.

Ocasio-Cortez suggested the mailings were intended to intimidate public officials ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections. "This string of suspicious mailings started two weeks before a consequential midterm election and is seemingly intended to intimidate public servants and sow further division," she said.

The latest incident follows suspicious mailings addressed to Torres and New York Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand last week. In a statement provided to amNewYork on Friday , the FBI said it was investigating suspicious mailings nationwide but would not confirm individual incidents or letters.

"The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating a series of suspicious mailings sent to various addresses nationwide, including Secretary of State offices and their related election offices," the FBI's National Press Office said.

"Some of the letters contained an unknown substance, and we are working closely with our law enforcement partners to respond to each incident." The bureau said investigators were working to identify those responsible for the letters. This is a developing story; check back for updates.
