Helen has hired the Parkside Group

From the Queens Campaigner:

Attorney Marc Leavitt’s campaign got a big boost from the Campaign Finance Board yesterday when he received $261,619 in matching funds towards his bid to unseat incumbent Helen Marshall.

Marshall is by no means in poor financial standing, as she has raised approximately $119,803 thus far. Campaign spokesman Gregory Joseph of the Parkside Group said Marshall will be ramping up her fund-raising efforts in the coming weeks and will file for matching funds on August 20 — the second date candidates can do so.
