MSG money surfaces behind pro-Blakeman "Strong and Safe" super PAC: $700K from Dolan companies plus $300K transfer

Campaign finance records show MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports each contributed $350,000 in July 2026 to Strong and Safe, the super PAC backing Bruce Blakeman — a combined $700,000 from James Dolan's companies. Dolan's Coalition to Restore New York, which has received $2 million from MSG, also transferred $300,000 to the PAC, putting roughly $1 million in identified receipts behind a group whose funders had been entirely unreported. The PAC's total raised and spending remain undisclosed.

Pro-Blakeman super PAC poll shows race at 47-43; public polling last had Hochul up 20

A Red Oak Strategic poll commissioned by the pro-Blakeman "Strong and Safe" super PAC — a previously unreported committee — puts Hochul at 47%, Blakeman 43%, 10% undecided among 2,000 registered voters surveyed Jul 7-12 (MOE ±2.2). It also reports Hochul approval at 39/56 and Blakeman leading independents 54-33. The partisan-sponsored numbers contrast sharply with Siena's June public poll, which had Hochul up 52-32.
