Delivery workers reacted strongly to a major contribution from DoorDash to a super PAC supporting Andrew Cuomo, alleging it exemplifies Cuomo's longstanding favoritism towards corporate interests over those of workers. Advocacy groups, including the Working Families Party, condemned Cuomoâs fundraising approach, labeling it corrupt. The PAC, Fix The City, raised significant funds for Cuomo while DoorDash's involvement is scrutinized, particularly considering past legal challenges the company posed against worker rights legislation. Critics argue Cuomoâs alliances with wealth and corporations highlight a consistent pattern of prioritizing their interests over those of everyday workers.
Ana MarÃa Archila criticized Andrew Cuomoâs fundraising tactics, stating, 'He is always with the people that have more, with the corporations that have money, with the billionaires that can buy an election.'
The political action committee Fix The City has raised $8.7 million to elect Cuomo as mayor, with the largest donation being $1 million from DoorDash.
Liz Benjamin, the PAC's representative, stated, 'The work undertaken by Fix the City, a fully independent expenditure committee, has taken place lawfully and without the insight or influence of any prohibited outside entities.'
Delivery workers highlighted the hypocrisy in Cuomo's raising funds from corporate entities, calling it evidence of his alignment with corporate interests against workers.
