From the New York Post: Mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo was denied public matching funds in his bid for City Hall — delivering a fundraising blow to the tune of nearly $3 million to the current front-runner aiming for a political comeback.
The decision by the Campaign Finance Board came Tuesday morning after the Cuomo campaign sent a panicked email over the weekend to supporters asking them to fill out last-minute forms and digitally give their signatures to ensure matching funds.
The email came with the subject line “Urgent – Action Required” and stressed, “THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.”
“We need you to complete the form included in this additional email, TODAY IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it is critical that we get these forms back as soon as possible.”
The ex-gov’s campaign lost out on roughly $2.7 million in matching funds on $332,530.
