Oliver Koppell Says He’ll Need a Half Million Dollars to Beat Jeff Klein

Ross Barkan

Oliver Koppel says he’ll need at least half a million dollars to challenge State Senator Jeff Klein, the leader of the breakaway Democratic faction that governs the State Senate with Republicans.

Speaking on New York Post columnist Fred Dicker’s radio show this morning, Mr. Koppell, a former councilman, assemblyman and attorney general, gave himself a two week time frame to make a final call, and began to lay out “financial and organizational support” he’d need to launch the high-profile challenge.
