A Superfluous Fund-Raiser for Kellner
Not that Assembly candidate Micah Kellner needs it, but he's having a fund-raiser later this month for that East Side Assembly race on June 21 5.
There was, at one point, a crowded field. Then, the Democrats cleared out. And the Republican challengers never really showed up.
So, you could consider it sort of like an early victory party, but one that guests have to pay a lot of money to get into.
The fund-raiser is taking place at the Princeton Club and the price of admission is $250. (Or $2000, if you want to be listed as a "co-chair.")
It's being hosted by newly shaven City Comptroller Bill Thompson, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Council member Jessica Lappin and Steve Nislick.

So if he's a shoe-in, why would people give him money? Seems odd. No?
Many people are giving him money because they strongly support his candidacy, want to help him win big on June 5, and ward off a serious primary challenge in fifteen months. Remember what happened to Assemblywoman Sylvia Friedman?
what else are lobbyists going to do with their money?
