Garcia
New York City mayoral aspirants Andrew Yang and Kathryn Garcia brought in the most money in public matching campaign funds among a crowded field of Democratic candidates, the city Campaign Finance Board said Thursday.
Former presidential contender Yang got almost $2.2 million and former city Sanitation Commissioner Garcia, who recently scored endorsements by
Daily News, got $2.1 million in public financing, representing nearly half of the $8.8 million disbursed Thursday for the June 22 Democratic mayoral primary.
The public funds, which provide an 8-to-1 match of individual contributions from New Yorkers up to $250, are intended to help offset the influence of independent outside political action committees, which have spent about $15.7 million in the mayoral election, board Chairman Frederick Schaffer said in a Thursday board meeting. That’s nearly double what was spent in the 2013 race for City Hall, when Mayor Bill de Blasio was elected.
