Council Races: Big Bucks for a Lonely Race
August 30, 2005
Barely a fortnight before the September 13th primary, things are looking pretty good for City Councilmember David Weprin of Queens. The son of a late New York State Assembly speaker and chair of the powerful Council Finance Committee has the Working Families Party endorsement, has raised more than $400,000, and has more cash on hand than all but three of the other 160 or so candidates registered with the Campaign Finance Board. Best of all, he appears to be running unopposed this year. Weprin is one of at least seven sitting councilmembers who have no opponent identified in either Board of Elections of CFB lists of candidates. Several others face no primary opponent. And most of the rest are getting only token challenges. But that hasn't stopped these candidates from hauling in the cash. (Village Voice)
