EXCERPT:
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has a considerable financial advantage over Republican Bruce Blakeman. Apparently, Democrats would like a little more insurance.
A Democratic Governors Association-backed super PAC has collected $4.34 million for the final weeks of the governor’s reelection campaign. Greater Empire State reported the contributions between late July and October 2, then rolled out two ads Saturday targeting Blakeman over his support for President Donald Trump.
Three donors accounted for $3 million. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave $1 million, as did the Greater New York Hospital Association Management Corp. Another million came from Leadership for New York, a super PAC headed by Jay Martin, formerly of the New York Apartment Association.
The Sports Betting Alliance and Hess Corporation CEO John Hess also contributed.
Not bad for an incumbent whose supporters insist the election is well in hand.
