Overview

• Adams inaugurated a campaign office in Old Mill Basin on August 7 to serve as a base for his independent reelection campaign’s grassroots mobilization.
• The storefront site on Avenue T remains subject to a 2023 Department of Buildings vacate order following a masonry collapse, and a reinspection has yet to lift the restriction.
• The Campaign Finance Board has denied Adams’s campaign millions of dollars in public matching funds this week, citing unresolved allegations from his 2021 campaign.
• Polls show his approval ratings at historic lows, with Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo leading the November mayoral race.
• The new office, housed in the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club’s headquarters, will join additional borough offices aimed at shoring up support across the city.
