Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, two Democrats on opposite ends of the party’s ideological spectrum, are dominating the 2025 money race to unseat Mayor Eric Adams, according to city Campaign Finance Board (CFB) records and figures released by their campaigns.
Cuomo, who jumped into the race on March 1, reported having raised a robust $1.5 million from 2,800 donors in just 13 days, according to numbers shared by his campaign and CFB records. His strong showing comes after he entered the contest as a frontrunner who has been leading in the polls and racking up endorsements from local pols and unions.
