In a recent fundraising report from the New York City Campaign Finance Board, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani stands out by receiving almost $4 million in public matching funds for his mayoral campaign. In contrast, former Governor Andrew Cuomo's campaign received no matching funds despite raising over $1.5 million. Cuomo's team cites a software error as the reason for not qualifying for matching funds. They are addressing the issue and hope to receive funds from the Board in the next payment cycle on May 12, 2025.
"Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani of Queens received nearly $4 million in public matching funds, the largest single payment to any candidate in the 2025 Democratic mayoral primary race to date."
"Cuomo's campaign is blaming a software error from one of its vendors, which it said neglected to collect one field of donor information required by the Board."
