NYC mayoral candidate Zellnor Myrie (D) raises enough cash to unlock $2.3M in public matching funds

Brooklyn state Sen. Zellnor Myrie’s mayoral campaign has raised enough money from enough donors to unlock more than $2.3 million in public matching funds this week, according to a memo from his team.

Myrie, who’s among more than a half dozen candidates running against Mayor Adams in June’s Democratic primary, has pulled in a total of $647,449 from more than 3,300 individual donors since launching his campaign in May 2024, the memo says.

The memo, provided to reporters by Myrie’s campaign ahead of Wednesday’s public fundraising disclosure deadline, says that $301,981 of his total haul came from more than 1,500 New York City residents, surpassing the thresholds required to become eligible for matching funds.

As a result, Myrie’s memo says he’s expecting to receive some $2.35 million in matching funds from the Campaign Finance Board once it processes his Wednesday filing.
