Donors from New York City’s real estate industry contributed more than $733,000 to the re-election campaign of Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the first half of 2018, an analysis of state contributions data by The Real Deal found.
That’s down from the more than $1.2 million property interests gave the governor during the previous six-month reporting period. Gov. Cuomo raised roughly $6 million in total contributions during both periods and now holds more than $31 million in cash for the duration of his re-election campaign.
As for Cuomo’s primary challenger, Cynthia Nixon, The Real Deal was only able to identify one New York City real estate business person among her top donors. Lawrence Benenson of Benenson Capital Partners, which is currently at work on a mostly market-rate rental building in the East Village, donated $10,000.

Why is this news? doesn't every State elected pol get real estate $$?
Now all of a sudden he is shying away from the media spotlight. we just had a massive steampipe explosion in which asbestos and other dangerous elements were spewed into the air and where was he?? NOWHERE!!
As did his shady (but more eloquent sounding) father. Albany crooks hide out up there without scrutiny or laws to prevent their corruption. And what did able Andy suddenly do? Suspend the commission that was getting to close to his criminal friends and him! The Albany swamp needs daring way before Washington's. It's been the hole in the wall gangs hideout since the Civil War Uh...,Flush Moby Stavisky!
On that $20 bill, Andy looks a bit like Dr. Ruth...
Damn good likeness, the two Andrews? Sure he didn't pay you to run this?
>Andy looks a bit like Dr. Ruth...
Don't insult Dr. Ruth like that. Unlike Andy, she lives in and cares about NYC.
RUN THE LIST!
Skelos and Silver are just the tip of the iceberg. Albany is a cesspool! And now John Liu wants to join the Albany gang as a Senator! Make sure this political puss pot gets buried for good.
Cuomo IIs goose may be cooked. Nixon, a lesbian has not only all of the Hillary Clinton crowd votes, but all the gays, femme'nazi's, millennimorons and angry liberal votes as well. Nixon will will stomp this asshole in a major upset just like Cortez took Crowley.
Oh boy those Democrats in for one hell of wreck. The sound you heard with Cortez is a freight train coming down the mountain and it has no brakes!!
GTF out off that sinking chunk of glacial & liberal excrement currently called New York before some fat lady sings the Die Fahne hoch !

LOCK HIM UP!
Papa Cuomo is turning over in his grave. Son. Son. What are you doing? I got away with things but I think they are on to you.
Yippee doo!
And what pol doesn't get real estate money?
Wake up you fools.
Vote out all incumbents.
Vote for Nixon!
And poor little Senator Avella is hamstring by party dictators up on Albany.
Bravo Tony for sticking it out!
Keep on kicking them in the balls!
❝Keep on kicking them in the balls,❞ last Anonymous? What balls? Even if this cradle-to-grave government kleptocrat ('Tiny Tony' Avella), HAD balls——he STILL wouldn't be able to find those desiccated nuggets with a GPS!
He's the NEXT New York State payroll psychopath to be catapulted 'FACE DOWN' into the wood chipper——à la Fargo! Drain the AVELLA SWAMP (and raw sewage plant) FORTHWITH!
