New York fundraisers boost Campbell campaign drive
Gov. Carroll Campbell raised nearly 100000 for his 1990 re election bid during two New York City fundraisers. A Wall Street reception at a private club drew 30 to 35 attendees at 1000 each while a 5000 per couple event at Richard Jenrette's home targeted executives. Tompkins says the haul helps reach a June 30 goal of 1 million with 16 months left before the general election. Theo Mitchell is the only active Democratic candidate so far.
