Democratic and Republican Party heavyweights are pumping more resources into the special congressional election to replace disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner.
The New York State Democratic Committee will spend well into the six figures to help Democratic Assemblyman David Weprin by attacking GOP challenger Bob Turner, an insider said.
And the Republican National Committee announced yesterday it’s helping pay for Turner’s get-out-the-vote effort.
Meanwhile, gay marriage has emerged as a major issue in the campaign.
Gay-rights groups held a fund-raiser last night for Weprin — who voted for the state’s gay-marriage law — at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village.
Turner opposes gay marriage.
