The city Campaign Finance Board (CFB) on Wednesday once again voted to deny Mayor Eric Adams public matching funds for his reelection bid, citing the campaign’s alleged “failure to provide” requested information and “reason to believe” it violated the law.
The board’s decision, rendered during an Aug. 6 meeting, drew swift backlash from Adams’ team. Todd Shapiro, Adams’ campaign spokesperson, accused the CFB of making “vague and unsubstantiated accusations” and said the campaign is “reviewing all legal options, including formal action to compel the release of public matching funds.”
