2009 Mayoral Candidates Raise Millions

2008_07_cash.jpgSecond quarter campaign filings reveal who's leading and who's lagging among the contenders for the mayor's office. On top of the list is Representative Anthony Weiner (he ran a surprisingly strong second to Fernando Ferrer in the 2005 Democratic primary) who raised $1.4 million and believes he reached the maximum of $6.2 million (including matching funds). City Comptroller William Thompson raised $625,000 and has raised $4.8 million so far. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn raised $620,000 for the period, which consultants believe is a disappointment, given that she has $3 million so far. And City Councilman Tony Avella raised $32,000, for $212,000 total.
