By the Numbers: Melinda Katz
The city’s Campaign Finance Board will be posting updated campaign finance numbers for 2009 candidates later today. But some numbers are available for campaigns that cross-filed with state Board of Elections, like City Comptroller candidate Melinda Katz.
Katz raised $582,756 and now has $1,078,196 on hand for her campaign.
She got donations from, among many others, Helen Sears ($100), Kenneth Fisher ($4,950), and James Capalino ($1,000) [link added].
Katz has spent $36,800 on mailings (anybody get one?) and $2,000 on committee dues at the American Jewish Congress.
More updates when the official numbers come in.

I mentioned on an earlier blog that Melinda is clearly the frontrunner with these impressive fundraising numbers.
I can't wait to see Carrion's numbers and how his fundraising dropped after announcing he wasnt running for Mayor.
It looks like 2008 and 2009 are going to be the years of the successful ladies (Hillary and Melinda).
FRONTRUNNER!!! is that a joke!
Did anyone notice that it cost her $300,000 to raise $600,000, and only has a million left on hand. She rushed to spend the money and will be left with nothing when it counts.
she is legislatively a genius and a force to be recognized.....you need to spend money to make money and she is a player for this race
all those who dont take her seriously will be in her rear view mirror very soon
imagine if she had won the speaker race!!!
