Campaign cash flows as election day comes into view

Campaign cash has begun to flow with a little more than three weeks left before New Yorkers head to the polls to cast their votes in primary races for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, City Council and a slate of judicial positions.

Last week, candidates’ fundraising and spending was unveiled in the latest filings with the Campaign Finance Board. Later in the week, the board doled out matching funds, putting an additional $10,955,500 into races throughout the five boroughs.

In Queens, 12 candidates were given matching funds, including the two candidates who, until Friday, had yet to be awarded the coveted cash.

In all, Queens candidates picked up a combined $399,300 in matching funds on Friday, a cash infusion that will only add to the campaign spending that has spiked in recent weeks.
