The Long Island Democrat took in bundles of campaign cash from some of the country’s most famous names — including big-screen golden couple Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, who each donated $2,400.

Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour dug into her designer purse for $3,500, while Courtney Sale Ross, fabulously wealthy widow of media mogul Steve Ross, kicked in the maximum $4,800. Ross’ daughter, student Nicole, dipped into her lunch money to give Bishop another $4,800.
