Real estate donors throw cash at Cuomo following Adams' exit

"When including donations given to Cuomo's campaign the day of the mayor's announcement, that number climbs to roughly $41,000. That's more than half of the $77,700 he took in from industry donors between Aug. 19 and Sept. 29, according to a TRD analysis of campaign finance filings that included different real estate sectors, including development, property ownership/management, commercial, residential, architecture and construction."

"Real estate donors who gave the maximum of $2,100 in the six-week filing period include: A&H Acquisitions' Alex Adjmi, investor Yaacov Amar, Crown Acquisitions' Richard Chera, Coldwell Banker broker Emily Becker and United American Land principals (and brothers) Jody, Jason and Albert Laboz. Republican donor and Florida developer Alan Keen, who was also involved in the Florida chapter of No Labels, a centrist group that pursued but eventually abandoned plans to nominate a third-party presidential candidate, also gave $2,100,"

Real estate industry professionals donated more than $32,000 to Andrew Cuomo on Sept. 29, the day after Mayor Eric Adams suspended his re-election campaign. Including donations given the day of Adams' announcement, industry contributions to Cuomo totaled roughly $41,000. Industry donations comprised more than half of the $77,700 raised from real estate donors between Aug. 19 and Sept. 29. Cuomo received $895,000 in donations during the reporting period, with $380,000 arriving on Sept. 28 and 29. Several prominent industry figures gave the $2,100 maximum, including Alex Adjmi, Yaacov Amar, Richard Chera, Emily Becker, Jody, Jason and Albert Laboz, Alan Keen and Robert Taubman.
