Reed Gets Some Last-Minute Aid
Filed Monday, March 5, 2007 at 12:00 PM
According to campaign finance reports filed over the weekend, Aldermanic President candidate Lewis Reed raked in almost $50,000 on one day last week, with most coming from two donors.
On February 28, George Kruntchev contributed $10,000 to the Committee to Elect Reed and Paul Weissman of New York City gave $35,000.
Reed is trying to become the first African-American ever elected President of the Board of Aldermen and the first black to unseat a white incumbent in a citywide election in 25 years.
