Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s independent mayoral campaign received a major financial boost on Thursday, as the NYC Campaign Finance Board (CFB) voted to award it roughly $2.3 million in public matching funds.
The sizable payout adds to the nearly $896,000 in private donations that Cuomo’s campaign reported raising last week, according to CFB records. The fresh cash infusion comes as Cuomo is desperately trying to close a gaping double-digit polling gap between himself and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee.
