Avella's Nonconformist Fund-Raiser

Here's how to fund-raise if you're a longshot mayoral candidate without much institutional support.

On April 27, Tony Avella's campaign is throwing a house party to raise small donations--organizers note on the invitation, “The usual culprits will not donate to his campaign.”

The event is taking place in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, far away from Avella's home district of Bayside, Queens.
