Staten I. Dem hopeful has House money

- Jillian Jorgensen

MAX ROSE, a Democrat looking to flip a Staten Island congressio­nal seat in November, will report $570,000 in campaign donations over the last filing period, his campaign told the News.

Rose, 31, is looking to unseat Republican Rep. Daniel Donovan — assuming excon and ex-congressma­n Michael Grimm doesn’t topple Donovan himself in a heated June primary. The money was raised between Jan. 1 and March 30, his campaign said.

Rose (photo) also has primary challenger­s this June, but has scored the endorsemen­t of the borough Democratic Party, among other groups, and has been by far the most prodigious fund-raiser on the Democratic side of the race.

The $570,000 quarter is a significan­t increase in fund-raising for Rose, who brought in $333,000 in the last cycle.

Over the same end-of-2017 period, Donovan raised $379,410 and Grimm raised $176,140. Their newest filings weren’t available.
