(See correction at end of article) On Aug. 13, candidates running for state office reported the campaign contributions they had received since July, the second of three official accounting reports before the Sep. 14 Democratic Primary.
See below for how much each candidate raised for the period, the amount they have on hand to spend and their total campaign contributions.
According to the New York State Board of Elections Web site, in the hotly contested race for state Senate, community activist Mark Levine raised $43,599 since the last disclosure report, edging out Assembly Member Adriano Espaillat who pulled in $43,475. (Miscellaneous receipts added an additional $359 to the amount Espaillat reported for the period nudging his total accounting ahead of Levine’s.)
The other candidates running for Senate are far behind in the race to be the top fundraiser, a key indicator of a campaign’s strength. Anna Lewis, an attorney who is the only one of the four candidates who lives on the Upper West Side, has less than $1,000 in the bank. But that is still more than Miosotis Muñoz, a former aide to Congressman Charlie Rangel, who is $339 in the red, even after loaning the campaign $4,000 of her own money.
In the race to replace Espaillat in the 72nd Assembly District, former City Council Member Guillermo Linares reported raising $20,913, leading the field of five candidates. Nelson Denis reported a total of $17,400 since July, but $15,000 of that amount was his personal loan to the campaign. Of the $69,287 he’s raised so far, $47,000 has been personal loans.
(Correction: This story incorrectly stated that the State Board of Elections had no data for 71st Assembly Candidate Ariel Ferreira. The People for Ariel Ferreira reported having raise $920 since July, that he has $1,154 on hand, and in total has raised $4,925)
