RE: State of the Race Four Weeks out
DATE: October 6, 2014

Election Day is four weeks away and Eric Schneiderman continues to dominate the
Attorney Generals race. Schneiderman has a 25 to 1 cash-on-hand advantage, leads by
more than 15 points in every public poll, and has broad support from key constituencies
like law enforcement and choice leaders. Cahill, meanwhile, is demonstrating hes no
friend of the environment, taking max out checks from David Koch whose Koch Industries
is one of the worst polluters in America and lobbying for another notorious polluter
American Electric Power.

A.G. Schneiderman has huge cash-on-hand advantage

Attorney General Schneidermans war chest is more than 25 times that of Cahills,
according to new fundraising reports filed with the Board of Elections late Friday night.

Schneidermans campaign reported outraising Cahill and having $4.7 million in cash on
hand in addition to more than $3 million worth of advertising time the campaign
reserved but has not yet aired.

By contrast, Cahills campaign has just $288,000 in cash on hand.

A.G. Schneiderman has law enforcement support

In 2010, Republican attorney general candidate Dan Donovan had the majority of law
endorsement endorsements but this time around Attorney General Schneiderman is
running the table.

Schneideman has picked up the endorsements of the PBA of New York State, the NYC
Detectives Endowment Association, the United Fire Officer's Association and the Coalition
of Suffolk County Police Unions, which includes the Suffolk County PBA, the Suffolk County
Detective Association, the Suffolk County Superior Officers Association, the Suffolk County
Detective Investigators PBA, the Suffolk County Police Conference and the Suffolk County
Probation Officers Association.

Schneiderman has also been endorsed by prominent former prosecutors including New
York Attorney General Robert Abrams, former New York County Chief Assistant D.A. Daniel
R. Alonso, former Assistant Attorney General for the State of New York Suffolk Regional
Office Ricardo Montano, former U.S. Attorney of the Northern District of New York Daniel
French and former District Attorney of Chautauqua County James Subjack.

A.G. Schneiderman has support from choice leaders

While Cahill continues to oppose the 10
th
point of the Womens Equality Act, Attorney
General Schneiderman is fighting for womens rights including advocating for a bill that
would blunt the effects of the Supreme Courts recent Hobby Lobby ruling.

Its no wonder choice leaders continue to stand behind Attorney General Schneiderman,
including NARAL Pro-Choice New York, NOW New York State President Zenaida Mendez
and Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion President Catherine Lederer-Plaskett.

In July, U.S. Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Nita Lowey, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, New
York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Amsterdam Mayor Ann Thane launched
the Women For Schneiderman coalition, citing the Attorney Generals exceptional record
keeping families safe, making New York more affordable for the middle class and
advocating for womens reproductive health.

Cahills contributions from extreme conservatives

Cahill reported on Friday that he took $41,000 from extreme right-wing conservative David
Koch, whose Koch Industries is a notorious polluter. According to the University of
Massachusetts Amherst, only three companies rank among the top 30 polluters of
America's air, water and climate: ExxonMobil, American Electric Power and Koch
Industries, reported Rolling Stone.

Cahills energy consulting firm The Pataki-Cahill Group an unregistered lobbying outfit
represents American Electric Power (AEP), as well.

New York City and eight states sued AEP for being one of the biggest emitters of carbon
dioxide, the gas that causes global warming. In 2007, AEP paid $4.6 billion to settle
allegations brought by the federal government, New York and others states that the
company spread smog and acid rain across the northeast. And according to reports by the
Natural Resources Defense Council, AEP was the largest emitter of carbon pollution from
power plants in the U.S. in 2012.
