Andrew Yang has raised more than $2.1 million in direct contributions in two months for his New York City mayoral race, an amount expected to grow to $6.5 million when matchable donations are counted, according to a campaign memo.
Yang, 46, the entrepreneur and former U.S. presidential candidate, reported 15,600 donors and is eligible for 8-to-1 matching funds on more than $570,000 small-dollar contributions from city residents, the memo said. Candidates who participate in the city’s public campaign-finance program are eligible to receive as much as $2,000 in public funds per contributor.
