Term Limits Force an Early Start to ’09 Campaign

New York Times

The Brooklyn borough president, Marty Markowitz, said he, too, was raising money and was leaning toward running for mayor.

“I’m weighing it,” he said, adding that he would prefer to remain borough president if he were not bound by term limits. “By raising money now, it affords me the opportunity to be a contender.”

Mr. Markowitz had raised $332,000 as of January and had spent nearly $200,000 toward a 2009 campaign.
