As expected, dollars from the New York City real estate industry made up a significant portion of Governor-elect Andrew Cuomo’s final campaign contribution tally. In fact, Cuomo’s top two individual campaign donors were developer Jerry Speyer and construction mogul Daniel Tishman, who contributed a combined $187,400, according to the Buffalo News. Other major real estate contributors include hedge fund bigwig Marc Lasry and his wife Cathy, who ponied up $74,600, and noted Cuomo pal and real estate developer Andrew Farkas, who donated $57,452. Other major donors included developers Donald Trump and Joseph Moinian. The top organizational donor was the Teamsters Union, the Observer reported, which gave $136,400. SEIU, which contributed $102,200, was the third-biggest organizational contributor. [Buffalo News] and [NYO]
