The paper notes that Catsimatidis is "a former grocery clerk who went on to own the Gristedes and Red Apple supermarket chains and is worth more than $400 million."

Catsimatidis may have tons of money, but campaigning against him ought to be easy. Just take voters into virtually any Red Apple store and ask them if this is their vision of New York.
He wouldn't get a vote, except those that may be for sale.
