Special Election Numbers
Here are some fund-raising numbers from the city's Campaign Finance Board for people running in the Staten Island and Brooklyn special council elections:

Brooklyn (40)
Mathieu Eugene -- $38,445 Joel Toney -- $29,094 Jennifer James -- $27,528
More campaign figures for both races are here.

Very misleading and incomplete Azi.
Eugene's $38k includes $35k he loaned the campaign, so he has raised very little and is no where near meeting matching funds thresholds. The otehr two have been raising money since last year. Also, filings did not have to be in on Friday, merely postmarked. More impressive would be Wellington Sharpe's filing which will show that despite his late entry in the race, he has met matching fund thresholds and has almost $10k matchable. Ok, so I am supporting sharpe, but you will see it posted shrotly as it was postmarked timely.
Jiminy Cricket seems to have put on some weight.
Hey 2:49, postmarked timely? Good luck getting your public funds on February 1.
Saw the recent posting from the Campaign Finance Board and Mr. Sharpe loaned his committee a whopping $ 25,000 bucks! The only persons with some real money seems to be Jennifer James and now Mohammad Razvi.
Well at least Jen has $$, cause she ain't got nothing else. Including a real base or even residency in the district.
She really lives in Letitia James's district, not where she has listed. That is her cousins house!
The 35K & 25K Mathieu & Sharpe loaned their campaigns are real money. Last time I looked self-funded candidates do pretty well in NY.
Who has the machine (vito plus unions)?????
County has no stake in the race...why make 12 enemies and 1 ingrate?
