Actor Mark Ruffalo will add some more star power to a re-election fundraiser for Mayor de Blasio in Manhattan this week.
Ruffalo will headline the fete alongside actor Steve Buscemi, a longtime de Blasio ally who his campaign announced last week as a special guest.
Tickets for the Wednesday night fundraiser at the Ronald Feldman Gallery in SoHo start at $100, with donors who give $1,000 gaining access to a VIP Reception, according to an invitation to the event.
Ruffalo, an actor and environmental activist, has met at least once with de Blasio’s aides at City Hall to discuss energy policy.
De Blasio also traveled to Washington, D.C. last week to raise cash for his re-election bid, at a fundraiser at the at the American Federation of Teachers’ headquarters.
He has not yet attracted a high-profile mayoral opponent, but state Sen. Tony Avella and former City Councilman Sal Albanese have announced primary campaigns against him.
