Pious Maloney?


Maloney raises $320K; Becker questions totals.

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 | 12:44 p.m.
'06 AG candidate/ex-WH/Spitzer/Paterson aide Sean Patrick Maloney (D) "announced that his" camp pulled in $320K in the 1stQ (Campbell, "Politicker," New York Observer, 4/9).
Cortlandt Councilman Rich Becker's (D) camp questioned the results. Becker spokesperson Barry Caro: "1) How much money did Sean raise from inside the 18th District? ... 2)How much on Sean's money can actually be spent on the primary, versus the general election?"
As Maloney lives in NYC and campaigned statewide for NY AG, "it's reasonably likely that a good chunk of his fundraising came from outside the" CD, a point Becker's camp "is clearly looking to highlight."
"Caro also aggressively hinted Becker's own fundraising will be able to match Maloney's." Caro: "Sean Maloney seems to be counting on a financial advantage in this race; if so, he's going to be in for a rude awakening later this week" (Campbell, "Politicker," New York Observer, 4/9).
