New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said yesterday he will spend as much as $15 million in the next three weeks to help moderate congressional candidates and back state ballot measures to legalize same-sex marriage.

Bloomberg’s money will be distributed through a new super-political action committee called Independence USA and will be used to fund television, radio and Internet ads and direct mail campaigns, said Howard Wolfson, a New York deputy mayor who is taking a leave of absence to oversee the super-PAC.
