NYC Mayor's Race: Cuomo (D), Lander (D) both say they've maxed out fundraising as Dem primary looms
Two leading candidates in the 2025 NYC mayor’s race — former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and city Comptroller Brad Lander — both say they have reached the city’s $8.3 million spending cap when including public matching funds with a little over four weeks until the Democratic primary.
Cuomo’s campaign says it raked in nearly $4 million in private donations since launching on March 1, according to numbers his campaign released ahead of Friday’s CFB disclosure deadline for the latest filing period.
The former governor, who resigned in 2021 amid nearly a dozen accusations of sexual harassment that he denies, is the front-runner in the polls and has won the backing of many institutional Democrats and influential groups. The current mayor, Eric Adams, is a non-factor in the Democratic primary after opting to run as an independent in the November general election instead.
Cuomo’s campaign says that with $1.5 million in public matching funds it already received from the CFB earlier this month combined with another $2.8 million it expects to be awarded on May 30, it will hit the board’s $8.3 million fundraising limit.
