Contests in 2009

John Liu (D) - incumbent
New York City Council (Flushing, Queens )
2005 election results: re-elected (no Republican opponent)

7/23/07 NY Daily News: "Lotta loot for Liu's future: Queens politician's 1.6M in campaign cash is tops in Council,"
by Frank Lombardi
    John Liu has banked $1.6 million for an unspecified campaign in 2009.
    Queens Councilman John Liu is relatively new to politics, but he's raising cash like a seasoned pro - pulling in more than even Council Speaker Christine Quinn.     
    Liu has banked $1.6 million for an unspecified campaign in 2009, when his term-limited stint on the Council must end.
    The Democrat is outpacing all his Council colleagues, including Quinn, who has raised $1.4 million for her likely mayoral bid, according to finance records.
    Liu, 40, was born in Taiwan and, in 2001, became the first - and, to date, only - Asian-American elected to the City Council.
    He represents a district anchored by Flushing, and is among 38 Council members facing term limits in 2009.
    He said it's premature to target his next stop in politics, but knows one thing is certain: He'll need lots of money.
    "I'm open to anything from dogcatcher to top dog. I know I want to serve in a citywide capacity," Liu said, even as he acknowledged it's a stretch to consider a mayoral bid. "No matter what is down the road, it doesn't change the need to fund-raise."
    Liu's contributions come from varied sources, many of them New Yorkers of Asian heritage. And many donors have maxed out - given the maximum of $4,950 to a municipal candidate for citywide office.
    "I'm humbled by the amount of community pride out there," Liu said. "A common trait among my donors is that they have not contributed to political campaigns before now."
