<p>Public Advocate Bill de Blasio is getting money from people who have fought against the establishment at City Hall and against his allies in labor.</p>
<p>De Blasio got $100 from attorney Yetta Kurland, who <a href="http://www.thevillager.com/villager_333/weshowedthem.html">ran against</a> City Council Speaker Christine Quinn in 2009. De Blasio is likely to face in a 2013 Democratic mayoral primary.</p>
<p>And one of Rudy Giuliani's deputy mayors, Randy Mastro -- who has filed <a href="http://www.ny1.com/content/news_beats/politics/115136/ny1-online--attorney-randy-mastro-on--inside-city-hall-">a law suit</a> against the campaign arm of the Working Families Party -- donated $1,000 to de Blasio.<!--more--> The WFP was a close ally of de Blasio and helped him overcome the better-known Mark Green in a four-way Democratic primary for the public advocate post in 2009.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nyccfb.info/searchabledb/AdvancedContributionSearchResult.aspx?ec_id=2013&amp;ec=2013&amp;cont=mastro%2c+randy+(contains)&amp;cont_lname1=mastro&amp;cont_fname1=randy&amp;exact1=C">Mastro's only other donations this filing period</a> were to Bill Thompson -- the 2009 Democratic candidate for mayor who is taking a second run at that seat -- and Liz Crowley, the Queens City Councilwoman who is the cousin of the Democratic leader in that borough.</p>
<p>Other interesting donors to de Blasio include CUNY political science professor John Mollenkopf, who donated $1,000, and <a href="http://www.streetsblog.org/author/aaron/">the editor</a> behind <a href="http://www.streetsblog.org/">Streetsblog.org</a>, Aaron Naparstek, who donated the same amount.</p>
<p>And, during the Anthony Weiner scandal -- May 27 to June 16 -- de Blasio raised $104,515. By comparison, <a href="http://www.politicker.com/2011/07/15/quinns-donors-wintour-tobias-during-weiner-scandal-134k/">Christine Quinn raised $143,298</a>. and <a href="http://www.politicker.com/2011/07/15/during-weiner-scandal-liu-raised-205675/">John Liu raised $205,675</a>.</p>
<p>Update: Mastro told me "Both Bill's were clients of mine in the term limits case. I have enormous respect for both of them." When I asked if this indicates who he may be leaning towards in the mayor's race, he repeated his answer.</p>
