Mayor de Blasio prepping for 2017 elections

Mayor de Blasio is already planning for 2017.

The newly-minted mayor, seven months into his four year term, has registered with the city's Campaign Finance Board for the 2017 election cycle, the first step towards launching his re-election campaign.

In the paperwork, which was posted on the CFB website on Monday, de Blasio does not declare what office he's seeking.

Instead, he set up an administrative account with the CFB which could hold any fundraising he gets ahead of the election. It's unclear if he's raised any funds. All filings so far for the 2017 election will be made public on July 15.

1. That has to be a record

Absolutely ridiculous to already worry about reelection 7 MONTHS after being elected. This is what is so wrong with our political system. This is so sad. Can he do the job first and maybe after 2 years, BEGIN thinking about it. This has me so freaked out.....I can see it now. President so and so inaugurated January 2017.....next day.....I am beginning my campaign for 2020 today! Please donate to my campaign now before it is too late. Ugh!

2. I agree it is too much.

I think he is looking at the polls too much.
