Seven super PACs — some funded by real estate interests, Wall Street operatives, or even Madison Square Garden executives — have spent more than $1.6 million on New York State Senate races in hopes of warding off progressive candidates.
, funded by the Madison Square Garden companies owned by the Dolan family;, supported by labor unions and major city developers, including a group associated with the Real Estate Board of New York.The three PACs have already made their mark in some of the most-watched Democratic primaries, at least financially.
The ads aren’t subtle. One 15-second video simply shows two men violently fighting on a city street. On screen, a message pops up – “We need to stop the attacks in the street, and start fighting for you” – as it cuts to an image of Crowley walking in the street and urges people to vote for her. “This group does not speak for my campaign and it does not reflect the messaging my ads have paid for,” she said. “I do not condone the imagery nor content.”Kristen Gonzalez is a progressive candidate and community organizer backed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She said the outside spending amounts to Crowley breaking her promise to reject real estate donations – even though the money didn’t go directly to Crowley’s campaign.
The PAC’s support is based on candidates who support the education reform movement – including charter schools – that is often opposed by the progressive left. The organization is closely aligned with StudentsFirstNY, an advocacy group for charter schools and school choice. The pro-charter PAC’s major spending in support of Camilo has funded a blitz of social-media ads, which highlight Camilo’s background as the daughter of a bodega owner and as a lawyer who was once president of the Bronx Women’s Bar Association. The only indication the ads are paid for by an outside group comes at the end, when a narrator makes clear they are funded by New Yorkers for a Balanced Albany.
