US EditionCuomo denied $600K in campaign funds over allegedly coordinating with super PAC
- On Monday, former Governor Andrew Cuomo was fined $622,056 by the city board overseeing election funding for illegally collaborating with the super PAC Fix the City during his 2025 mayoral run.
- The board’s preliminary ruling followed an investigation that found the May 4 ad paid by Fix the City was not independent of Cuomo’s campaign due to strategic information sharing.
- Fix the City has raised over $7 million, backed by major finance and real estate figures, while Cuomo’s campaign has raised $3.5 million in 71 days and received $1.5 million in public matching funds minus the penalty.
- Board member Richard Davis noted that the board is still examining the situation and plans to keep assessing whether any improper coordination occurred, indicating that additional penalties may be imposed.
- Cuomo’s campaign plans to appeal the fine, claiming full compliance with finance laws, while the penalty could reduce his public funds and impact his bid in the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary.
