Candidates weighing runs against Mayor Adams raise sizable campaign cash in first filing of 2025 race

Prospective challengers to Eric Adams in the 2025 Democratic mayoral primary are touting strong fundraising hauls as Monday’s Campaign Finance Board filing came due.

Brooklyn State Senator Zellnor Myrie, who launched an exploratory committee to run against Adams in May, has raised $326,480 so far, his campaign announced Monday morning. Around $127,586 can be used to secure over $1.3 million from the city’s generous public matching funds program, his campaign said.
