The New York City Campaign Finance Board has allocated over $71 million in taxpayer dollars for the 2025 mayoral race, with $32.6 million already given to Democratic primary candidates. Concerns arise regarding Zohran Mamdani's proposals for free services funded by taxing the wealthy and his controversial stance on police funding. Critics fear a return to past fiscal crises due to the far-left influence within the Democratic party. Some candidates, despite low voter support, received significant funding, raising questions about election financing practices.
In this year's Democratic mayoral primary, the city's Campaign Finance Board distributed $32.6 million in taxpayer-funded cash to 8 candidates, including $7 million to Zohran Mamdani.
Moderate Democrats and Republicans are concerned about Mamdani's plans like 'tax the rich' for free services, alongside his rhetoric of 'defund the police'.
