Eldridge raising money for run against Gibson
Jul 17, 2013 1:00 am
Jimmy Vielkind is reporting at Capitol Confidential Sean Eldridge, the 26-year-old Democrat considering a run against Congressman Chris Gibson raised more than $200,000 in the last three months. He now boasts a war chest in excess of $600,000. Eldridge is an investor by profession, and the husband of Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes. An Eldridge spokesperson said roughly one third of the donations received so far came from within the boundaries of the 11-county 19th Congressional District. Eldridge has not said definitively if he plans to make the run, but has begun laying the groundwork for a potential campaign. Read the full story at Capitol Confidential, a Times Union blog.
