Overview

  • The Campaign Finance Board withheld $1.3 million in matching funds from Andrew Cuomo after determining his campaign may have coordinated improperly with the Fix the City super PAC.
  • Council Speaker Adrienne Adams secured $2.4 million in matching funds for her mayoral bid after correcting earlier paperwork errors that had disqualified her.
  • Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani’s request that his supporters donate to Adams delivered the surge in qualifying contributions needed for the award.
  • Cuomo’s campaign has expended nearly $2 million and is closing in on the $7.9 million primary spending limit despite recently approved infusions exceeding $3 million.
  • The board is continuing its probe into alleged coordination between Cuomo’s campaign and the Fix the City PAC as candidates prepare for the June 24 primary.
