Stemerman Commits $10 Million More to Campaign. Will Advertise in NY Media Market.

Greenwich Republican gubernatorial hopeful David Stemerman announced Monday morning he is “investing” an additional $10 million to his primary campaign. That’s in addition to the $2 million he’s spent so far to launch his campaign and petition onto the August 14th primary ballot.

Stemerman’s announcement noted that the additional money will allow him to “expand its advertising to include New York broadcast television and increased cable, digital and direct mail advertising statewide.” A $10 million primary budget–if that’s what it’s all earmarked for–will buy a lot of attention. Candidates participating in the state’s public financing program receive $1.35 million for the primary contest.
