Eric Adams Grinds on in Quest for Public Campaign Dollars

Mayor Eric Adams may have thrown in the towel on his reelection fight, but he’s still demanding millions of taxpayer dollars’ worth of campaign matching funds to pay off outstanding bills from his now defunct campaign.

And he’s doing that while facing the very real possibility that the city Campaign Finance Board, which has been denying him these funds for months, may go a step further and move to recapture millions of dollars it had approved for him in his 2021 campaign.

When Adams announced via video Sunday that he was terminating his campaign, he specifically cited the CFB’s “decision to withhold millions of dollars” — which he claimed had “undermined my ability to raise funds for a serious campaign.”

Early Monday his lawyers vowed to continue a pending lawsuit against the CFB, demanding that it reverse its refusal to provide him with a dime in matching funds.
