Only two candidates for mayor will get payouts from the city Campaign Finance Board’s (CFB) Matching Funds program in the latest round — a surprising fact considering the number of people running in the 2021 Democratic primary.
After raising $2,654,426, Brooklyn Borough President Adams campaign will get $788,443 from the CFB, while city Comptroller Scott Stringer, documenting $1,813,826 in raised funds, will get $1,176,714 in campaign funds from the program, according to records.
