Donors Push Mamdani to Maximum Fund-Raising Cap in Mayor's Race
Roughly two months before New York City’s mayoral election, Zohran Mamdani has raised enough money to hit the $8 million fund-raising cap, his campaign said on Friday.
Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and the front-runner in polls, announced the fund-raising achievement in a video on Friday morning, thanking his supporters and asking them to consider donating time to his campaign rather than money.
“We can’t take any more of your money,” he says in the video. “Truly, you need to stop.”
Mr. Mamdani’s three main rivals trail him in fund-raising. Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who is second in the polls and running as an independent, has about $1.5 million in his campaign account and will have to keep raising money in the weeks ahead.
