Severe Gap Remains In Mayoral Campaign Spending


blom.jpgUnsurprisingly, the money gap in the mayoral race remains massive.

According to newly released figures, Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s top political rival, William Thompson, has raised just $200,000 over the last two months, for a total of more than $5 million.

Thompson, the city’s comptroller, has spent $2.4 million of what he’s raised.

The mayor, who is self-financed, has already spent $36.6 million of his personal fortune in his re-election bid.

Queens City Councilman Tony Avella, a third candidate, raised just $11,000 over the last two months for a total of $259,000. He has spent $202,000 of that amount.
