Mayor Eric Adams’ uphill independent reelection bid raised $1.5 million over the past month, city Campaign Finance Board (CFB) data revealed Wednesday — one day after the panel again denied his claims for millions of dollars in public matching funds.
Hizzoner — who is vying for reelection against socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani — raised his largest haul this election cycle, according to the latest round of campaign finance filings released by the CFB on July 16. The Democratic mayor, who is running as an independent, is also facing off against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost the primary to Mamdani by nearly 13 points and is now running in November on his own independent line; Republican Curtis Sliwa; and a third independent candidate, attorney Jim Walden.
