Matthew Hamilton in the Albany Times-Union reports that out-of-area donors are filling the coffers of candidates who want to take over Chris Gibson's 19th Congressional seat in the U.S. House of Represenatives. The Kinderhook-based Republican has said he's not running for another term in 2016, and seems to be considering a run for governor in 2018. Republicans Andrew Heaney and John Faso announced early to take over Gibson's seat, and New York Assemblymember Pete Lopez just recently announced his intentions to run. In the first quarter of this year (before Lopez announed) Heaney raised $643,256, and Faso $624,750. A review by Times-Union reporters showed that most of those donors were from outside the district. Heaney, a Dutchess County businessman, had 200 donors from outside New York and got $1,000 from Julia Koch, wife of David Koch, of the Wichita-based Koch Industries. Faso, a former assemblyman and gubernatorial candidate, gor 55 donations from outside the state. Read the full story in the Albany Times-Union.
