Eric Adams Has Made Zero Effort to Challenge His Campaign Matching Funds Denial
Mayor Eric Adams claims he is fighting to obtain millions of dollars in public matching funds that a city board has denied his re-election campaign in light of his federal corruption charges alleging misuse of the system.
During his weekly media briefing Monday, Adams insisted he is full speed ahead on his campaign for re-election.
“People are catching up to me. I outpaced everyone. And we’re going to continue to fight to get our matching funds,” he said, adding, “We know how to do this.”
But three months after the city Campaign Finance Board (CFB) shot down the Adams 2025 committee’s request for $4 million in matching funds, his campaign has made zero effort to challenge the rejection and try to get the requested public dollars, which would double the size of his current $4.4 million campaign warchest.
