Notes |
Ken Sunshine's strongest political tie is to Bill de Blasio, who worked under him when he served as chief of staff to former Mayor David Dinkins. The two have remained close ever since.
Sunshine, whose firm is Sunshine Sachs, hosted the first fundraiser de Blasio ever held, when he was running for a seat on the New York City Council after managing Clinton’s Senate campaign. During the 2013 mayoral race, many of de Blasio’s fundraising committee meetings were held in Sunshine’s conference room, and as Mayor, de Blasio has on occasion continued to use Sunshine’s office when he needs meeting space away from City Hall. |
