Former Governor Andrew Cuomo received $1.5 million in public matching funds for his 2025 mayoral campaign, following the resolution of clerical errors. However, the city's Campaign Finance Board withheld an additional $622,000 over concerns regarding improper coordination between Cuomo's campaign and a super PAC named Fix the City. The board determined this amount corresponds to spending on an ad believed to violate campaign finance regulations. Previously, Cuomo's campaign had been denied matching funds due to errors in paperwork and not meeting donation thresholds, affecting his campaign's financial viability.
