With reelection prospects in doubt, Eric Adams' fundraising slows to a trickle [View all]

NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams pulled in a paltry $36,121 from just 37 donors for his reelection campaign over the first two months of the year — an anemic haul underscoring how just how narrow his path to victory has become.

The bad news comes as a maelstrom threatens Adams’ political future — underscored by the denial of $4.3 million in public matching funds due to bookkeeping irregularities and campaign finance infractions alleged in his federal criminal case.

And Tuesday’s filing makes up almost none of the lost ground.

Despite that disadvantage ahead of the June Democratic primary, he has raised $4.4 million for his 2025 bid, more than double any of his rivals who have or are on their way to getting matching funds.
