Cuomo Has $35M War Chest [View all]

Nick Reisman

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s re-election campaign on Tuesday revealed in a campaign filing it had raised $8.4 million in the last six months and has a $35 million war chest heading into the re-election contest.

Cuomo’s Republican opponent, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, previously revealed he had only a fraction of that money: $2.4 million in cash on hand.

The first-term Democratic governor, considered an adept fundraiser, shows donations from Hollywood moguls like Jeffrey Katzenberg and director Steven Spielberg who each gave $25,000.

John Mack, the former Morgan Stanley CEO who became an adviser for Cuomo’s economic development program START-UP NY, contributed $25,000.
