The Times wrote a post-mortem on Tribecan Elizabeth Lewinsohn’s campaign for our City Council seat, noting that her mostly self-funded campaign spent roughly the same amount her tab would have cost if she took each of her supporters out for dinner at the Odeon. “Of the $568,665 her campaign put toward securing the Democratic nomination in a district that covers the bottom tip of Manhattan, $522,000 came from a source with whom she was intimately acquainted: Elizabeth Lewinsohn.” (I will note that of that nearly $600,000, she spent $700 in advertising in the TC!)
