Most expensive mayoral re-election ever

Michael Bloomberg’s re-election campaign is apparently on pace to match or even top the $74 million he spent in his initial election run. Unbelievable spending considering his competitor is an under-funded Democrat.

It’s more than the two candidates for New Jersey governor spent on their combined campaigns. One of the nice benefits I guess to being a multi-billionaire–Bloonberg basically funded his campaign out of his own pocket.
