The New York City Campaign Finance Board (NYCCFB) has denied Mayor Eric Adams eligibility for public matching funds for his 2025 reelection campaign. This decision comes in light of an indictment against Adams, with officials citing violations of campaign finance laws as the reason for the denial. Scott Stringer is the only mayoral candidate receiving public matching funds in this round. The NYCCFB stated that after reviewing publicly available information, they determined that the Adams campaign engaged in conduct detrimental to the campaign finance program. This denial represents a significant setback for Adams as he faces challenges from other candidates amid ongoing scrutiny related to his legal issues.
