Speaker Adrienne Adams raises $128,000 for NYC mayoral bid in 5 days

Speaker Adrienne Adams has raised over $128,000 for her mayoral bid, according to her campaign — but it’s not enough to garner her matching funds.

Nearly 1,130 donors, including 875 donors in New York City, gave to her campaign in just five days, according to the campaign.

The speaker said at a press conference Wednesday that she didn’t expect to meet the threshold for the city’s 8-to-1 matching program, which requires candidates to reach $250,000 in matchable donations from 1,000 local donors.

“We have been aggressive fundraising for less than a week, so put that together as far as what we’re doing on how we’re working,” Adams said at a press conference. “But we do expect to receive matching funds in time.”
