Mayor Adams Takes Legal Action Against NYC Campaign Finance Board for $3.4 Million
May 28, 2025 - 06:20
NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams has initiated a lawsuit against the city's Campaign Finance Board (CFB) following its ongoing refusal to provide matching funds for his reelection campaign. The legal action, which was first disclosed on Tuesday, demands the release of $3.4 million that the mayor claims he is entitled to.
The CFB's denial of these funds has been attributed to Adams' recent five-count federal indictment, which has raised questions about the implications of legal challenges on his campaign financing. In response to the board's decision, Adams has stated, “An indictment is not a conviction; a politically-driven indictment should not impede the democratic process.”
This lawsuit marks a significant development in the mayor's campaign strategy as he seeks to secure the financial resources necessary for his reelection efforts. The outcome of this legal battle could have substantial implications not only for Adams but also for the integrity of the city’s campaign finance system.
