Third-quarter mayoral campaign filing: Vinny Mangiacopra

NORWALK, Conn. – Democratic mayoral hopeful Vinny Mangiacopra did not have a big fundraising quarter, according to third-quarter figures filed Tuesday in accordance with campaign financing laws.

After a spectacular second quarter, Mangiacopra found himself having to scramble for petition signatures – as did his three opponents – to get on the ballot for the Sept. 10 Democratic primary, taking time away from fundraising activities. Thus, after tapping 237 individual donors for more than $40,000 in the second quarter, the District D Democratic Party Chairman dropped to 43 individuals and $4,306 this time around. The total placed him third in the quarter behind Harry Rilling, who took in more than $10,000 from 119 contributors, and Matt Miklave, who totaled $5,775 from just 23 donors.

Just over half – 22 – of Mangiacopra’s donors were Norwalk residents. Miklave has 15 local donors, and Rilling had more than 100.

The good news for the 31-year-old “change” candidate? He has raised more than $70,000 overall – without loaning his campaign money – and has the most money on hand for the stretch run. Mangiacopra reported having $15,178.90 on hand going into the primary. Rilling reported $13,991.40 and Miklave $4,209.

Former Town Clerk Andy Garfunkel raised just $76.21 from two individuals in the quarter and has an aggregate total of $9,704.90. He reported a balance on hand of $5,492.56.
