Councilwoman Christine Quinn has evolved from a humble gay rights activist to a political powerhouse. Under the tutelage of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Quinn is inseparable from the mayor. Her aspirations for higher office have already began in association with well defined political circles.

A rough tally by The Observer of her latest campaign filings show that Ms. Quinn has raised at least $262,745 from the real estate industry since last October, about 20 percent of the $1.4 million she’s received in private contributions. By comparison, just $5,760 out of the total $138,717 that Ms. Quinn reported for her 2003 council re-election appears to have come from real estate professionals.
What is next.....a change in hair color?
