#Spike Lee headlines fundraiser for Letitia James in Martha’s Vineyard

Spike Lee is headlining a Martha’s Vineyard fundraiser on Tuesday for state Attorney General Letitia James — whose office’s recent sexual harassment report forced the resignation of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The invitation says the fundraiser at the Academy Award winner’s residence is to “support the re-election” of James as attorney general.

But some political wags speculate that James may decide instead to run in the Democratic primary for governor next year.

The campaign event has an Olympics theme. Someone who donates or raises $20,000 is honored as a “gold host.”

A contributor who donates or raises $10,000 is a silver host and a $5,000 contributor is a bronze host.

James also held a fundraiser in Southampton last Saturday.

Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who will become governor in 11 days after Cuomo steps down, said she intends to run for re-election and has her own fundraiser planned in Buffalo next week.

Other Democrats who are eyeing a run for the governorship include New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and state Sens. Alessandra Biaggi and Jessica Ramos.

Republicans seeking the governorship include Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin, Andrew Giuliani and former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, the 2014 GOP nominee for governor.

A source close to James said the Martha’s Vineyard fundraiser was planned well before the release of the Cuomo report. She’s held fundraisers there in the past.
