The super PAC backing Acting Mayor Kim Janey is swinging into action, pulling in nearly half a million dollars while focusing on canvassing efforts.
The super PAC, supported by the hospitality workers union known as UNITE HERE Local 26, received $420,000 in donations from New York affiliates, according to a recent campaign finance filing. The outside group has spent some of that money on pro-Janey flyers while deploying canvassers.
