Who's Paying for Ed Nabozny's Campaign?

This one is for people who like to follow the money.

The New York State Board of Elections has strict rules for reporting contributions made to candidates for public office, for obvious reasons. You can see those reports here.

Individual candidates may file their own reports or authorize a committee to manage their campaign expenses and file for them. Ed Nabozny has authorized The Friends of Ed Nabozny.

The Friends of Ed Nabozny reported various contributions to his 2015 campaign. Ed also received contributions from the Columbia County Democratic Committee and the Greenport Democratic Committee. But that was 2015. Since Ed elected to caucus with Republicans and lost the endorsement of local and county Democrats, he won't see any contributions from Democratic committees this year. But you would expect that Friends of Ed Nabozny is still behind him and, presumably, one or more Republican committees.

But The Friends of Ed Nabozny hasn't filed ANY of the four reports required since July in 2017.



Neither has the Greenport Town Republican Committee!



Perhaps the Columbia County Republican Committee has information for us. At least they have filed two reports (there was no county Republican primary).


However, although they do show contributions to John Faso and to Michael Blasl in their 11-Day Pre General report, there are NO contributions to Ed Nabozny. So who's been paying for all those signs, and the shiny color mailings we keep getting?

If you'd like to know who's behind Kathy Leck Eldridge, Janice Brodowski, and Carol Peckham, they have all authorized the Greenport Democratic Committee to represent them and all required reports have been filed.


 So who's behind Ed Nabozny? Are they hiding until after the election?
