City Council Members Holding Fundraisers Before Jan 18 Filing Deadline
January 2, 2005
Several City Council members are holding fund-raisers to rake in as much cash as possible before they have to file with the Campaign Finance Board on Jan. 18. Leading the pack is Councilman Eric Gioia (D-Queens). So far he's raised nearly $400,000 for the 2005 election, he said. City Council Speaker Gifford Miller is hosting a $250-to- $2,750-a-plate fund-raiser for Gioia on Wednesday.
"I wanted to start early this year," he said.
City Hall insiders predict Gioia will run for public advocate in 2009 and then try for mayor in 2013.
"I'm preparing for re-election, and I'm also preparing for future opportunities," Gioia said. "In politics in New York, opportunities abound and it makes sense to be prepared."
