GOP Westchester County Exec Rob Astorino Tops $1M On Hand, Trails Gov. Cuomo By... $32.3M

BY KEN LOVETT

Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, who is considering a run for governor on the Republican line, has $1 million on hand, his filing shows.

Astorino in recent weeks raised $401,471 in his county executive account to push his total into seven-figures.

He received eight donations of $15,000 or more, including $27,603 from state GOP Chairman Ed Cox.

Astorino just completed a successful run for re-election in Democrat-heavy Weschester County. He said he will decide within two months whether to run for governor.

That is the best showing. All others are trailing by up to 45%.

I hear what you are saying. If Cuomo breaks 60%, the GOP may lose a few seats.
