CAMPAIGN FINANCE TALE OF THE TAPE FOR 2014 GOVERNORS RACE, EARLY OCTOBER EDITION
An analysis of recent campaign finance filings reported to the Board of Elections shows that:
1

Governor Cuomo continues to rely heavily on large donors. The percentage of money from his
largest donors those giving his campaign $40,000 or more slightly increased from 49.28% of
his campaign funds as of July to 49.38%. Donors who have given Cuomo $10,000 or more now
account for 81.24% of his total fundraising.
2

County Executive Astorinos fundraising remains far behind the Governors. In fact, just 17
donors have given Cuomo more money than Astorino has raised overall from the more than
3,767 donors who have contributed to his campaign.
3

The one area in which Astorino is outperforming Cuomo is among small donors. Astorino has
now raised $785,435.11 from donors giving aggregate totals of $1,000 or less, accounting for
19.22% of his total fundraising. Cuomo has only raised $324,074.80 from donors in this range,
accounting for 0.72% of his fundraising a decrease from 0.77% as of July.

Of course, many of the donors on this list have helped these candidates through means other than
direct contributions to their campaign committees. Leonard Litwin, for example, tops the list of largest
donors to Cuomo with $1,000,000, but has also given $470,000 to the Democratic Party and Lieutenant
Governor candidate Hochul.



1
The totals in this analysis reflect contributions and contribution refunds made between December 1, 2010 and the
filings submitted last Friday. This study excludes contribution refunds that resulted in more money being refunded
to the committee than given by the donor this election cycle, as these were presumably residuals of the previous
election cycle. It is possible that the identification of more vaguely-titled LLCs will lead to an increase in the total
money from large donors.
2
For both candidates, donations and transfers from political parties or from other committees controlled by the
candidates themselves were excluded.
3
The total number of donors to Astorinos campaign is impossible to calculate, since he did not itemize
$119,567.21 from donors who have given him aggregate totals of less than $100.
