Greenberg Out of Money in Comptroller’s Race. Real Estate Developer Has $309.48 On Hand.

Litchfield County real estate developer Mark Greenberg dropped millions of his own money on his three unsuccessful campaigns for Congress in 2010, 2012, and 2014. He lost Republican primaries in 2010 and 2012. In 2014, Greenberg won the party nomination but was defeated by Democratic incumbent Elizabeth Esty.

Greenberg was going to run for Esty’s open seat this year and threatened to put another million into that campaign. Instead, he’s running for state comptroller, challenging party endorsed candidate Kurt Miller. Greenberg has no money advantage this time. As of June 30th, his campaign has $309.48 on hand and owes $20,000. Not a traditional path to victory.
