Seven Queens City Council candidates receive key public matching funds
The New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB) has voted to approve public matching funds payments totaling $11,100,281 for 39 candidates running in the 2025 elections.
This marks the third payment of the 2025 election cycle, and it reflects the CFB’s ongoing efforts to provide crucial financial support to candidates who have met the necessary eligibility criteria. These payments are based on filings from a disclosure statement, including fundraising data and candidate donations.
The CFB also made it clear that payment corrections for this disclosure statement will be reviewed and made at the Board’s March meeting. These adjustments are part of the CFB’s meticulous process of ensuring that all participating candidates comply with the rules outlined in the Campaign Finance Act and Board Rules.
Seven city council hopefuls from Queens are among the candidates receiving matching funds. The matching funds program plays a critical role in reducing barriers to political participation, particularly for those running for office without significant financial backing.
