The New York State Legislature’s campaign finance laws are in desperate need of reform; even a New York State Board of Elections spokesperson has said that the laws have holes big enough to drive a truck through. And in State Senate district 28 that is exactly one candidate, Nelson Denis (D) is doing.A former two term State Assemblyman (he was voted out of office by his constituents in East Harlem with the worst attendance record in the Assembly and without managing to pass a single bill which he proposed), Denis is now running against popular City Councilman Jose Serrano in the Democratic primaries for the opportunity to run against newly Republican State Senator Olga Mendez who has served as a Democrat State Senator for Senate District 28 (which encompasses upper Manhattan and the South Bronx) for over one quarter of a century.Some of the $21,000 which Denis has raised for his campaign (most of which has come from real estate development companies, landlord, and other companies with interests in the area - he only has received donations from 8 individuals with addresses listed in his district) has been spent on his car’s registration, parking tickets, food, and dry cleaning - expenses which clearly seem to have nothing to do with a political campaign.
