Correction, 4/23/2013, 10:45 a.m. EDT: The original version of this included an incorrect reference to a Nixon Peabody partner who contributed to Anthony Wiener’s 2009 mayoral campaign and has given money to New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio in the current election cycle. He is Adam Gilbert. We regret the error.

As disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner weighs whether to dive into the 2013 New York City mayor’s race, money—specifically the $4.3 million in campaign cash he has on hand and $1.5 million in public matching funds he must use or lose—is undoubtedly figuring into his calculations. If Weiner ultimately does reach into that war chest to make a run, lawyers and others connected to Am Law 200 firms will be among those backing his unlikely attempt at a political comeback.
