Mayor Adams raked in $1,556,155 in the latest campaign fundraising period — his biggest haul yet in this election cycle.
Nearly all of that cash, or $1,513,328, flowed in after Zohran Mamdani’s upset victory on primary day.
The bulk of the mayor’s new campaign cash appears to come from fundraisers held after Mamdani’s win, which has sent shock waves through the city’s business community. Nearly $1 million was rasied at at fundraiser hosted by real estate firm SL Green last Wednesday, his campaign said.
CEO Marc Holliday hosted the fundraiser for the mayor at One Madison, the firm’s flagship Flatiron District skyscraper. Sixty-four employees of SL Green donated the mayor, totaling $67,301, per the filings, which were released Wednesday morning.
Kenneth Fishel, who hosted a July 5 fundraiser in the Hamptons with his wife Maria Fishel, maxed out his contribution to the mayor on July 2.
A spokesperson for the mayor’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The mayor was denied public matching funds Tuesday by the city’s Campaign Finance Board on the grounds that the campaign has failed to respond to the board’s requests for various documentation, including records related to his federal corruption indictment.
A judge ruled earlier this month that the board could not use the indictment itself as reason to deny funds, since those charges were dropped.
The board has withheld a total of more than $3 million in matching funds for the re-election campaign since December.
Mamdani netted $1 million in matching funds on Tuesday, in addition to a new haul of $853,018 from the latest period, from mid-June to mid-July.
