  • Zohran Mamdani raised $1,051,200 between July 12 and August 18 from 8,461 donors with an average contribution of $121, according to new Campaign Finance Board filings.
  • Filings show Mamdani holds roughly $4.4 million cash on hand and has submitted $281,270 in claims to the 8-to-1 public matching program, which his campaign says could unlock millions more.
  • Andrew Cuomo collected about $507,660 in the period, supplemented his coffers with a transfer from a state account, and his campaign says it expects about $525,384 in matching funds.
  • Eric Adams reported $420,886 raised and about $3.9 million in cash after heavy spending, while the CFB has repeatedly denied him matching funds and he has sued the board.
  • Outside money is ramping up as Elizabeth Simons gave $250,000 to a pro-Mamdani super PAC and Alice Walton contributed $100,000 to a pro-Cuomo group, filings show.
