Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reportedly is eyeing a political comeback amid the indictment of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. According to the New York Post, sources claimed Cuomo told “city power-brokers” of NYC he would make a run for mayor should Adams leave office.

Cuomo has “told several people I know he’s running,” said one insider familiar with the discussions. “He [also] told real estate folks … that he’s running for sure in a special [election].” But Cuomo’s plans are less certain if he has to face off against the incumbent. “He’s not determined if he’s running in a primary if Eric Adams is in it,” the source said. A second city powerbroker said Cuomo allies had been hitting him up to schedule a meeting, leaving him with the impression Cuomo was “definitely” running if there is a special election. This only interests me because he would be "less-worse" than the alternatives.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Former Gov.

Thereafter, for nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him,” the indictment reads. “By 2018, Adams – who had by then made known his plans to run for Mayor of New York City – not only accepted, but sought illegal campaign contributions to his 2021 Mayoral campaign, as well as other things of value, from foreign nationals,” it continued. “As Adams’s prominence and power grew, his foreign-national benefactors sought to cash in on their corrupt relationships with him, particularly when, in 2021, it became clear that Adams would become New York City’s mayor,” it added.

If so, these charges will be entirely false, based on lies,” Adams said. “I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you, that I would be a target — and a target I became,” he continued. “I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit,” he added.

From City & State New York: But would campaign finance laws allow Cuomo to use his nearly $8 million war chest for a New York City mayoral run? What of the other state elected officials looking to get in on city races? Transferring money from a state campaign into a city one is complicated – so much so that most candidates don’t even bother trying. But it is ultimately possible, according to campaign finance and election experts. The first step is to file with the city – which Cuomo has not done. “The rules for who can contribute in the state are different than those in New York City so a whole new committee under the Campaign Finance Board would have to be opened,” election and campaign finance lawyer Jerry Goldfeder said. After that, the law permits the transfer of funds between two committees if authorized by the candidate, but the process is both difficult and time intensive. To do so, a candidate would need to get all contributors from their state account to sign an agreement that their donation will be used for a different campaign. Given that there are different expenditure limits on the state and city level, the candidate would also need to report the costs associated with raising said donations from their state account, according to New York City campaign finance rules. Any transferred funds would not be eligible for the city’s matching funds program. They’d also be subject to the doing business limit if the contributor was listed in the city Doing Business Database at the time their contribution was made. Even if Cuomo wanted to try and transfer all of his funds, these rules would whittle down which contributions would be eligible. The same rules would apply to other state candidates who are looking at a New York City run. There’s quite a few already. As for New York City mayoral candidates, that includes state Sen. Zellnor Myrie, who has opened an exploratory committee, and even potentially state Sen. Jessica Ramos and Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani. There’s also Assembly Member Harvey Epstein, who is running for City Council District 2, and Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar, who is running for city comptroller. Of course all of these individuals have far less in the bank than Cuomo, so the inconvenience of transferring may not be worth their time. Historically, many candidates in similar positions don’t bother.
