Lhota (New York City mayoral) campaign will tap supporters nationwide
Supporters of Republican mayoral nominee Joe Lhota are preparing to launch a national fund-raising campaign to propel him into City Hall, The Post has learned.
Lhota took the day off from politicking Wednesday to commemorate 9/11, but GOP operatives were working the phones to lay the groundwork for his upcoming general election battle against Bill de Blasio, his presumptive Democratic rival.
“There will be a national excitement because Joe is a different type of Republican,” said one source, referring to his libertarian social views and conservative fiscal policies.
Lhota will have help from such heavy hitters as Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone and oil baron David Koch, both of whom have maxed out with $4,950 donations to his campaign.
