The American Federation of Teachers gave the most, at $350,000. The health care union 1199 SEIU gave $250,000, and the union UNITE HERE – which was once headed by de Blasio’s cousin, John Wilhelm – ponied up $200,000.

The only donor in the top five that wasn’t connected to the labor movement was the Rockefeller Family Foundation, which made donations totaling $250,000.
