Cuomo outspent Paladino 5-1, latest reports show

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo outspent gubernatorial rival Carl Paladino more than 5-1 in the last reporting period, according to financial disclosure reports filed Friday.

Cuomo's campaign expenditures totaled $10.2 million in the period, which began Sept. 28 and ended Monday, while Paladino spent $1.8 million, the vast majority going to pay for television ads, the reports show.

Paladino, a developer, raised more than $1.7 million in the last period, including $900,000 of his own money. He had $130,758 cash on hand, but pledged to spend another $1.1 million of his own money on television ads earlier this week.

Cuomo, who was leading in the most recent polls, raised nearly $2.3 million in the period and still has nearly $12 million on hand.

In the attorney general's race, Democrat Eric Schneiderman had raised "roughly $1.3 million," his campaign said, and had more than $1.2 million remaining. He spent $1.03 million in the period, his campaign said.

Republican opponent Dan Donovan raised $541,870 in the past three weeks and had $331,913.77 available, his campaign said. It did not disclose his spending.

Harry Wilson, the Republican candidate for comptroller, is heavily funding his own campaign. In the last period, the former hedge fund manager had raised $1.6 million, but $1.1 million of that came from his own pockets. Over the course of his campaign, Wilson has put nearly $3.9 million of his own money into the campaign. He still had $2.5 million on hand.

Most of the period's $1.73 million in spending went to television ads, the forms show.

Democratic Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli raised a little more than $500,000 in the period and spent $1.5 million. He had less than $400,000 left.
