BUFFALO, N.Y. — For a political campaign, votes are the goal. Money is viewed as critical for candidates to get votes.
And while recent media attention has focused on the fundraising of India Walton and Byron Brown in the Buffalo mayoral race, State Senator Tim Kennedy has had a much better year.
With no election for him this year, the Buffalo Democrat raised $607,000 since January.
By comparison, the State Senate President Andrea-Stewart Cousins collected $222,000 over the same time period.
