The NYC Campaign Finance Board (CFB) voted to approve public matching funds payments totaling $4,641,927 to 62 candidates for the Nov. 4 general election.
CFB officials stated that this total outlay is the final payment of the 2025 election cycle, based on required disclosure statement #14 filed by participating candidates.
The Board also voted on non-payment determinations for participating candidates who have not demonstrated eligibility to receive public funds payments as of Oct.
New York City’s matching funds program aims to eliminate some of the financial barriers to participation in elections in New York City by providing access to financial resources New Yorkers in every community can use to run for office.
Such financing is paid for by tax dollars.
