Mayoral hopeful Joe Lhota to hit the Hamptons on the campaign trail

Joe Lhota is the next mayoral candidate to hit the Hamptons to shake the hands, and pockets, of its influential residents. The City Hall hopeful will be feted at the house of Michael B. Mukasey, former US attorney general under President George W. Bush. We’re told Mukasey and his wife, Susan, “are enthusiastic supporters of Joe Lhota’s candidacy for mayor and are hosting a brunch for him at their house in the Hamptons next week.” Lhota rivals last week headed out east to drum up support with John Catsimatidis speaking at the Southampton house of Richard Farley and Chele Chiavacci, while Christine Quinn attended a fund-raising dinner at the Sagaponack home of Jonathan Sheffer.
