Let the money game begin
A Democrat who's Shyam, but not shy, raises enough to play with Republicans
Apr. 6, 2006 -
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution - The official deadline to disclose campaign contributions for the last three months is at midnight today.
And the first candidate to report his collections — to us, anyway — is Shyam Reddy, the Democratic candidate for secretary of state.
He’s reporting $151,149 raised since January, or $486,225 total. And he’s got $408,000 on hand. Not bad for a 31-year-old attorney making his first bid for office.
Reddy is one of seven candidates in the primary, but the dollars he’s raised put him in the same company as Republican candidates Bill Stephens and Karen Handel.
Reddy’s with Kilpatrick Stockton in Atlanta, and boasts a background in voting rights and campaign finance. He’s one of the founding members of the Red Clay Democrats — a tight circle of young professionals in Atlanta who include state senators Kasim Reed and David Adelman.
He’s a native Georgian, raised in Dublin, and the son of Indian immigrants. In fact, on Thursday, Reddy’s wife let it be known that Bibi magazine — no doubt you’ve all heard of it — has named him one of the six sexiest Indian-Americans. Though not one of the richest.
