Comptroller flush with campaign cash
-

On Sunday, The Journal News took a look at campaign accounts for candidates seeking the Democratic line in Mount Vernon city races. Candidates who raised money from Jan. 11 to July 11 or who carried over money from a previous election were required to file financial reports with the state Board of Elections last week.
Here are the total amounts that city candidates claimed to have in their campaign coffers, after expenses, as of July 11:
• Maureen Walker, seeking re-election as comptroller, had a whopping $110,255, most of it raised in previous years during annual fund-raising dinner dances. See story here.
• Helen Blackwood, running for judge, had $8,944.
• Debra Stern, running for council, had $2,152.
• Eileen Justino, running for council, had $3,005.
• Collie Nathan Edwers, running for council, had $1,722.
• Roberta Apuzzo, running for council, had $5,285.
• Yuhanna Edwards, who is seeking re-election to the City Council, said he was late in filing with the state. He faxed a copy of financial reports that he submitted to the county last week showing he had $3,443.
Other Mount Vernon candidates either did not have to file financial reports, or reported no financial activity during the period in question. A database of financial reports can be found here.
