NYC Mayor’s Race: Front-runner Cuomo denied millions in public funds due to ‘technical error’

The New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB) on Tuesday declined to reward 2025 NYC mayor’s race front-runner Andrew Cuomo millions of dollars he expected to receive in public matching funds.

The CFB voted to deny Cuomo the funds because at least 20% of the paperwork his campaign filed had technical errors — and his campaign did not meet the threshold of eligible donations. Those can be overlapping issues as technical errors can affect how many donations are eligible, according to the board.
