Hey, did you know there's an election going on? Dorey Houle does, and she's spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to remind you that she's a racist.
You know, I heard an ad from her on one of the cable channels and I thought "really? a local candidate for state senator is running ads on (Hallmark)?" Not sure if it was that channel exactly but it was one of the more well known channels. Then I thought, "where'd she get the money for THAT?"
That's an excellent question. On the money front, NYS now matches and double contributions received. So that $3,000 from Lazer Weiss is actually (at least) $6,000. The Public Campaign Financing system is great; however, New York State needs to close the loopholes: https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/new-york-politics-corruption-explainer/
