Analysis of Cuomo's War Chest
The campaign’s most recent update revealed that Cuomo raised $7 million over the past six months to bring his war chest to $33.3 million.
Among NYPIRG’s findings, which go back to December 2010:
More than 80 percent of Cuomo’s money has come from donors who have given aggregate totals of $10,000 or more;
Only 0.69 percent of his money has come from individuals who have given aggregate totals of less than $1,000;
242 donors have given Cuomo $40,000 or more.
