NYC Mayor's Race: Andrew Cuomo boosts fundraising in wake of Adams' exit, still catching up to Mamdani | amNewYork
"Ahead of the city Campaign Finance Board (CFB) releasing the candidates' latest fundraising figures on Friday, Cuomo's campaign announced it had amassed $940,000 between the end of August and this week. That marks a significant jump from the $507,660 it reported raising during the last filing period. Yet, Cuomo is still catching up to Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, who said he hit the city's $8 million spending cap on Sept. 5."
"Bill Mulrow, Cuomo's campaign chairman, said in a statement that Momentum is on our side at exactly the right moment. Voters are just now tuning into this race, and they want a safe city they can afford to live in, and they know Andrew Cuomo has the experience to deliver and the ability to hit the ground running on Day One, he continued. This is officially a two-person race, and it's one Andrew Cuomo is going to win."
Cuomo's campaign announced it amassed $940,000 between the end of August and this week, a jump from $507,660 in the prior filing period. Nearly $400,000 of the recent haul arrived in the hours after Mayor Eric Adams dropped out, with $390,000 reported in the 36 hours following his exit. Of the total, $337,076 is eligible to grow to nearly $2.7 million in matching funds. About 77% ($711,783) of donations came from New York City residents, with the remainder from outside the five boroughs. Cuomo remains behind Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, who hit the city's $8 million spending cap.
