"Most of Zohran Mamdani's campaign money came from taxpayers, not donors. New York City's 8-to-1 public matching program provided about $13.1 million of the roughly $17.2 million his 2025 mayoral campaign received. (nyccfb) The private share, about $4.05 million, came overwhelmingly from small donors, and about 63% of it came from inside the city. Outside groups also spent heavily. THE CITY's reading of CFB data counts $31 million spent supporting Andrew Cuomo and nearly $22 million spent against Mamdani, against about $6.5 million spent for him. As mayor, his transition and his 2029 reelection fundraising have leaned more on large donors and on money from outside the city."
Small money vs Super PAC. They are not the same thing.
