Out of the more than 30 mayoral candidates who have launched formal fundraising committees, only two Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and city Comptroller Scott Stringer raised enough money to be eligible for public matching funds on Tuesday from the New York City Campaign Finance Board.
Stringer received $3.3 million in matching funds and Adams received $4.4 million. The payments provide an early glimpse into how well and how early candidates are organizing for their respective races. To qualify for the funds, Mayoral candidates had to raise at least $250,000 from at least 1,000 contributors.
