Oh joy, the guy who said conservatives weren’t welcome in New York. The funny thing he’s more moderate than the other posturing Democrat out of New York, Bill de Blasio.
Via NY Post:
Gov. Cuomo has hired two Florida fundraisers, a sign he’s building a national network to launch a presidential bid, sources told The Post.
The two consultants — one is former Hillary Clinton money man Jon Adrabi — will help plan events and build relationships with Democratic donors in the key swing state, sources said.
“Hiring out-of-state fundraising staff, particularly in a battleground state, opens up money spigots beyond what would normally be available and is a key first step to laying the groundwork for a run,” said one source, a Democratic operative, who said Cuomo’s plan is to hire political consultants with experience outside of New York.
Cuomo, 59, has repeatedly denied he wants to run for higher office and said he is focused on re-election to his third term in 2018.
