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.

    Is Mary Fabrizi (Bridgeport Board of Ed) related to the former Bridgeport mayor Fabrizi who got caught on video using cocaine? More important, look at the number of donors from the Bridgeport area. Norwalk needs a mayor to represent Norwalk, not to bring Bridgeport style corruption to Norwalk.

    Vinny = Bridgeport born and raised, you get what you pay for

  3. D(ysfunctional)TC

    Simms could only shake down $3500? Must be losing his edge. Maybe the pot of gold at the end of the primary, when Vinny moves to the dustbin of irrelevancy.
