CFB makes big payouts to primary candidates 
 BY ARIAMA C. LONG 
 Ka-ching! 
 According to the city’s Campaign  
 Finance Board’s (CFB) latest filings  
 released yesterday, Monday, March 15, some  
 candidates finally cashed in big in their respective  
 campaigns and races. 
 The CFB gives out matching funds to qualifying  
 candidates at a rate of $8 for every $1  
 donated from city residents, that means up to  
 the first $175 for donations to city council and  
 borough president candidates, and up to $250  
 for donations to citywide candidates. Overall,  
 CFB has as of now approved $9,469,159 in  
 public matching funds payments to 90 different  
 candidates  for March.  Interestingly  
 enough, this will likely be the first year that  
 CFB will be close to topping the $50 million  
 in public matching funds given out in 2013’s  
 citywide elections. 
 Three  candidates  for  mayor,  three  for  
 comptroller, 13 for borough president, and  
 71 for city council have qualified for public  
 funds payments. 
 Here’s a rundown of the top finishers: 
 For the Mayoral race, Brooklyn Borough  
 President  Eric  Adams  has  $14,060,  City  
 Comptroller Scott Stringer has $97,622, and  
 Maya Wiley cashed in with $1,911,681. 
 Adam’s campaign broke out the bubbly for  
 having raised more than $9.3 million in total  
 if you include today’s $14,000. 
 “I am overwhelmed by the support our  
 campaign has  received  from  every corner  
 of  this  city,”  said  Adams  in  a  statement.

 “Working people — everyday New Yorkers  
 — are  propelling  this  campaign,  and  our  
 contributors represent the beautiful diversity  
 of New York. Our campaign has the most  
 support because we are a movement to deliver  
 what hard-working New Yorkers deserve: a  
 fair, safe, prosperous city that puts them first.” 
 For Comptroller, which really is a job all  
 about the benjamins, Senator Brian Benjamin  
 raised $14,297, Councilmember Brad  
 Lander had $76 added to his estimated stash  
 of $3,426,051, and Assemblymember David  
 Weprin raised a whopping $1,338,614. 
 The  stand  outs  this  time  around  for  
 borough president candidates are Councilmember  
 Antonio Reynoso in Brooklyn with  
 $65,426, Senator Brad Hoylman in Manhattan  
 with a huge payment of $996,231, business  
 owner Leticia Remauro in Staten Island  
 with $171,342, and Assemblymember Nathalia  
 Fernandez in the Bronx with $229,064. 
 In the city council district races 11 people  
 got the max for public funds payment, which  
 is $160,444. Those candidates were Mario  
 Rosser in District 9, William Rivera in District  
 18, Austin Shafran in District 19, Jaslin  
 Kaur in District 23, Julie Won in District 26,  
 Avi Cyperstein District 29, Donghui Zang  
 in District 29, Lincoln Restler in District 33,  
 Rodrigo Camarena District 38, Kenya Handy- 
 Hilliard in District 40, and Shirley Paul in  
 District 46. 
 There  will  be  another  round  of  public  
 funds payment on April 15. There are eight  
 public funds payments scheduled ahead of the  
 primary elections on June 22.
