NEW YORK — Some Democratic donors want their money back from Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Levy.
Attorney Larry Silverman planned to file a lawsuit Tuesday in Suffolk County on behalf of five plaintiffs. The five say they wouldn’t have contributed to Levy if they’d known he would run for governor as a Republican.
Levy was re-elected Suffolk County executive in 2007 as a Democrat with endorsements from the GOP, Independence, Conservative and Working Families Parties. He was recruited to run for governor by the Republican Governors Association and by state GOP Chairman Ed Cox.
Levy began the race with $4.1 million on hand, much of it from Democratic contributors.
