From the New York Post: Mayor Eric Adams pulled in a sad $36,000 from just a few dozen donors over the last two months, it was revealed Tuesday — as questions swirl over his faltering re-election campaign.
The incumbent Democrat raised $36,121 from 42 relatively unknown donors between Jan. 12 and March 13, according to the latest campaign finance disclosures.
That’s chump change, especially compared to the Democratic mayoral primary frontrunners.
Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani pocketed an impressive haul of $845,000 over the same period and ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the leader in the polls, pulled in $1.5 million in donations since announcing his campaign March 1.
Sources say Adams has been considering his options behind the scenes, but publicly, he has insisted he is still running for re-election, and still has over $3 million on hand in his campaign coffers.
Polls show him losing the Democrat primary in June, but Adams has reportedly considered running as an Independent.
He only has a few people on his campaign payroll, and is still paying his top fundraiser, Brianna Suggs, a whopping $10,000 per month for ‘consulting fees.’
