That is what special interests have spent to reelect Councilwoman Julie Menin. 

Wonder why she refused to participate in the City’s matching funds program?
 
She doesn’t need contributions from voters. Special interests are paying for her campaign. Mail. Digital ads. Billboard trucks. Newspaper ads. Video ads. 

What kind of special interests? ​

​

• Developers that want to stop public input on new developments, silencing the voices of local residents. ($79,250)
   

• Billionaires that want to avoid paying minimum wage and health care benefits to the people who deliver your dinner. ($27,500)
   

• Hedge Fund interests that don’t want to provide health insurance to your Uber driver. ($123,129.40)
   

• Real estate interests who want to silence the voices of New Yorkers. ($72,667.89)
   

• Special interests that want to cap the number of Charter Schools in New York, and shut them down forever. ($210,219.20)
