Will Ritchie Torres be Dropping Out of the 15th Congressional Race?


This came in from Ritchie Torres for Congress



Hey team,
I’ll be honest: I’m a little worried about our fundraising numbers this month. If I’m being completely honest, more than a little worried. Let me briefly explain why.
Our monthly fundraising goals are extremely important to everything we do. From buying supplies and post-canvassing grub for volunteers, to our crucial voter outreach operation, your contributions truly power this campaign. But after a brief update from my staff, I’m sorry to report that we're on track to fall short of our September goal.

The timing couldn’t be worse. It’s end-of-quarter, the time of year when campaigns have to get all of our financial ducks in a row. Failing now would raise a lot of questions among election observers about just how serious we are. I know we’re in this to win, and so do you -- let’s not let the political pundits write our story for us!

Editors Note:

We saw this from the Presidential Campaign of Bill de Blasio, before he dropped out of that race.

We also exclusively broke the Ritchie Torres/Michael Blake deal to have only one Bronx elected official run for Public Advocate in the February Special Election. Torres would not run and support Blake, while Blake would support Torres for the 15th Congressional District. Michael Blake said only two people knew about that deal, and wanted to know how I found out about it. Ritchie Torres would not comment on the record, but we had a long conversation off the record about the deal.

Could it be that Ritchie Torres has reached the end of his campaign for the 15th Congressional race? 

Will Ritchie Torres once again be supporting Michael Blake, this time for the 15th Congressional District?
