Overview

• NYC Campaign Finance Board filings reviewed by reporters show at least 170 donations tied to non‑U.S. addresses totaling nearly $13,000 to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run.
• Records indicate $5,608 has been refunded, while 88 contributions worth about $7,190 remain listed as not returned.
• A $500 contribution from Mamdani’s mother‑in‑law, who listed a Dubai hospital address, was recorded and refunded the same day, according to filings.
• The campaign says it will return any donations not compliant with CFB rules as the board audits campaigns across the city and has declined further public comment.
• Rival candidate Curtis Sliwa criticized the receipts and has previously urged investigations, while Mamdani’s filings show $4 million raised privately, $12.7 million in matching funds, and roughly $6.1 million on hand.
