Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo learned Monday that the city’s Campaign Finance Board (CFB) would give his campaign $1.5 million in public matching funds — but chose to withhold another $622,000 over a super PAC supporting his mayoral campaign.
The CFB awarded the 2025 mayoral frontrunner Cuomo public matching funds on May 12 after his campaign resolved clerical errors that prevented him from earning a payout last month. However, the panel decided in the same vote to withhold an additional $622,000 in matching funds that Cuomo would have received because it had “reason to believe” there was “improper coordination” between his campaign and a super PAC supporting it, known as “Fix the City.”
