<p>On November 6th, Voters in Rockland County can vote for candidates like GOP Rep. <strong>Nan Hayworth</strong>, Democrat <strong>Sean Patrick Maloney</strong> and...<strong>Rory Lancman</strong>? The Queens assemblyman was nominated for the judgeship in order to remove him from the Working Families Party's ballot line after he was defeated in a congressional primary earlier this year.</p>
<p>We'll have a lot more quarterly fundraising numbers for you later in the day, but here's what the two contested New York City congressional races look like right now:</p>
<p><!--more-->Assemblywoman<strong> Grace Meng</strong>, who beat Mr. Lancman, <a href="http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00516666/818425/" target="_blank">raised</a> more than a half million dollars in the last three months, an impressive sum in a very Democratic-leaning district, while her GOP opponent, Councilman <strong>Dan Halloran</strong>, <a href="http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00523324/818522/" target="_blank">raised</a> about a tenth of that. But, as he only raised pennies in previous filings, that's a relatively solid total for Mr. Halloran.</p>
<p>Rep. <strong>Michael Grimm</strong>'s filing didn't show any new legal bills, but he raised noticeably less than previous quarters. His Democratic opponent, <strong>Mark Murphy</strong>, actually <a href="http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00510198/818230/" target="_blank">raised more than him</a>, but with a total that's still unlikely to be a game changer. As a side note, Mr. Grimm, who still has a significant cash on-hand advantage, transferred <a href="http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00470807/818728/sb/ALL" target="_blank">over $140,000</a> to the National Republican Campaign Committee.</p>
<p>Attorney<strong> Ken Thompson </strong><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/16/nyregion/charles-hynes-faces-re-election-fight-from-lawyer-in-strauss-kahn-case.html?ref=nyregion" target="_blank">officially announced</a> his campaign against Brooklyn District Attorney <strong>Joe Hynes</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/orthodox_gal_running_for_senate_5xfstV1755Y6HuRUqwQZ1N?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_content=%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20Local" target="_blank">Oy vey</a>. State Senate long-shot <strong>Mindy Meyer</strong> is back, and despite her campaign being in debt and not even being on the <a href="http://politicker.com/2012/07/celebrity-diva-candidate-mindy-meyer-to-lose-the-republican-line/" target="_blank">GOP Party line</a>, she trotted out a massive elephant for a fundraising event for 15 people:</p>
<blockquote><p>The elephant had a — what else? — pink ribbon tied around it and was there to “represent the Republican Party’’ that Meyer so loves, she said....</p>
<p>Next, Meyer thanked “my political adviser, who prefers to remain anonymous.’’</p>
<p>Later, Meyer hinted that if the politician thing doesn’t work out for her, there’s always show biz.</p></blockquote>
