So who is the largest contributor to the David Galarza campaign? Who is the only person willing to put their money where their mouth is and show they have at least a slimmer of faith that he has a chance? Who is the only person confident enough about Galarza's chances to write his campaign a nice, big check?
Unfortunately for the campaign, only David Galarza himself.
The campaign of perennial District 38 City Council candidate David Galarza recently published a press release highlighting their recent fundraising efforts.
In it, they showered on the self praise: their "grassroots" campaign raised $20,000! Of course, despite their efforts to try and make it seem as if their opponent has a few big money donors while they have more widespread popular support, their opponent had more than twice as many individual donors.
What the Galarza campaign did not highlight was that their second largest contributor was the owner of Johnny's Pizza on 5th Avenue of Sunset Park. His motivation for such vehement protesting of a new Papa John's opening nearby is becoming clearer...
The most laughable point the campaign did not want anyone to know about and, therefore, did not include in their press release: the identity of their largest contributor.

The state of affairs for the Galarza campaign is so sad that they brag about their fundraising numbers and the support it shows they have and yet nearly 10% of the money David Galarza has raised, he has given to himself.
Now, I don't know about you, but if I had a birthday party and I had to buy myself presents to try and prove to everyone around me how popular and liked I was, I wouldn't exactly go around bragging about it.
