The Friday Intel | 10.09.26: Two Districts, Two Money Pictures
Description
Westchester County is split between two congressional districts, and the reported campaign money in them is far apart. Federal filings through June 30 show Rep. Mike Lawler (R, 17th District) with $8.17 million in total receipts (about $3 million of it transferred from affiliated committees), Democratic challenger Cait Conley with $4.32 million, and Rep. George Latimer (D, 16th District) with about $514,000. The surprise: through June 30, the congressman for Yonkers, New Rochelle and White Plains had $100,662 in the bank and had spent more than he raised.
