The 2025 NYC mayor’s race unofficially kicked off this week as Democrats weighing challenges to incumbent Mayor Eric Adams showed they can raise enough money to be competitive in the race, while even more pols are rumored to be mulling a run.
Earlier this week, former city Comptroller Scott Stringer and State Sen. Zellnor Myrie — who are both exploring a run against Adams next year — each reported amassing six-figure campaign war chests in Monday’s Campaign Finance Board filing. Their hauls show the idea of Adams facing a serious primary next year is no longer theoretical and his path to reelection could not be as smooth as it has been for previous incumbents.
