NORWALK, Conn. – It’s easy to see that the copious funds Democrat Vinny Mangiacopra’s has raised for his Norwalk mayoral run come from a grassroots campaign – though much of the grass seems to be growing in other towns.
Norwalk’s Future Now, the campaign to make Mangiacopra the Norwalk Democratic Party mayoral candidate, raised $25,533 between his campaign kickoff on Jan. 22 and the end of the filing period on March 31, according to papers filed with the town clerk’s office. Only three people gave Mangiacopra $1,000, the maximum amount possible. One of them is also named Mangiacopra.
Of the 232 donors, 118 gave $50 or less. Five gave $500. Thirty-nine of the donors live in Bridgeport; 9 from Trumbull, 3 from Monroe, 29 from Shelton. They include Bridgeport City Council President Thomas McCarthy, Bridgeport Board of Education President Peter Ziegler and Director of Education and Youth for the City of Bridgeport Joshua Thompson.
Mangiacopra has the financial support of 58 Norwalk residents, including Richard McGonigal (a retiree who gave $1,000), Common Councilman Warren Pena, former Councilwoman Nora King, Elizabeth and Allen Fedor ($500 each), Michael DiScala, Phaedrel Bowman of A Better South Norwalk and Zoning Commissioner Mike Mushak.
Three committees contributed a total of $2,150, the papers say.
