Cuomo Throwing DC Fundraiser
AG Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) has yet to publicly declare his GOV plans, but that doesn't mean his fundraising machine is slowing.
Major Dem players Bill and Maria Keating Titelman are hosting a $500-$5K per-person fundraiser for Cuomo at their NW Washington home Mar. 22 with Cuomo expected to be in attendance.
According to Opensecrets.org, the Titelmans are major donors, handing out checks to AG Martha Coakley (D-MA), Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), Rep. Paul Hodes (D-NH 02), AG Jack Conway (D-KY), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) as well as Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. Bill is an attorney and Maria is a consultant.
Co-hosts for the event include MPAA Chair and CEO/ex-Sec. of Agriculture/ex-Rep. Dan Glickman (D), Dem consultant Joe Eyer, government affairs and public policy attorney Doug Kantor, intellectual property attorney Daniel Mandil, lobbyist Amy Maxwell, public policy advisor Katie Whelan and congressional policy adviser Mike McKay.
Attendees can "co-host" for $5K, be a "patron" for $2.5K, act as a "supporter" for $1K and be a "friend" for $500.
The invitation e-mail for the event came on behalf of Andrew Cuomo 2010 from Matt Everett of the fundraising group Berger Hirschberg Strategies, whose clients included the presidential campaigns of Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) and ret. Gen. Wesley Clark (D).
