Manhattan Councilmember Erik Bottcher, the co-chair of the City Council’s LGBTQIA+ Caucus, raised $683,241 in the first 24 hours since announcing his potential candidacy for Congress to succeed veteran Representative Jerrold Nadler in New York’s District 12.
“I’m blown away by the tremendous grassroots outpouring of support in such a short period,” Bottcher said about his early fundraising numbers.
