Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani has amassed over $1 million in campaign contributions for his New York City mayoral bid, The Hill reported Saturday.
This allowed Mamdani to surpass both former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and incumbent Democratic Mayor Eric Adams in recent fundraising efforts, according to The Hill. Mamdani collected just over $1 million between July 12 and Aug. 18 through small-dollar donations, the city’s campaign finance board reported. His grassroots campaign drew an average contribution of $121, with donors split almost equally between New York residents and out-of-state supporters.
The fundraising numbers dwarf those of his competitors during the same period. Cuomo, also running as an independent, raised $541,301 with an average donation of $646. Some of these funds came from his former state campaign account, the outlet reported. Adams, also campaigning as an independent, brought in $425,181 with contributions averaging $770.
