CITYWIDE — THE NYC CAMPAIGN FINANCE BOARD on Wednesday approved public matching payments for numerous candidates running in the November general election — but has denied Mayor Eric Adams’ application for the 11th time.
“The Board determined Mayor Adams’ campaign has failed to demonstrate eligibility for public funds payment at this time on two grounds: one, failure to provide requested information, and two, reason to believe the campaign violated the law — the same two grounds that were the bases for the finding of ineligibility on August 6th, the Board’s last payment date,” Board Chair Frederick Schaffer said in a statement Thursday.
According to NY1, the CFB began withholding funds following Adams’ federal corruption indictment. Adams is suing the board over the repeated denials.
Of the mayoral candidates still in the race, Zohran Mamdani will be receiving $1,927,901; Curtis Sliwa will collect $1,388,807; and Jim Walden will gain $34,515 during this distribution.
