Primary challengers to Adams raised significant campaign funds

Park Slope resident and City Comptroller Brad Lander and State Sen. Zellnor Myrie have raised substantial amounts of money to potentially challenge Mayor Eric Adams in the next primary election.

The incumbent Mayor Eric Adams has raised over $4 million, while challengers like Myrie have raised $326,480 since the announcement of launching an exploratory committee.
