New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s campaign raised $2.5 million in the first six months of 2021 despite a series of scandals ranging from multiple sexual harassment allegations to claims the three-term Democrat misused public funds to write a $5 million leadership book.
New fundraising totals released by the campaign on Thursday reveal the extent to which donors still support the governor, who is up for re-election next year. Cuomo’s war chest now stands at $18.5 million, up from $16.8 million in cash on hand in January, when his last campaign financial disclosures were released.
