Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo still has a $16.4 million campaign war chest, five months after he resigned from office amid sexual-harassment allegations, new filings from the state’s campaign finance board show.
Cuomo raised more than $224,000, much of it in seemingly unsolicited small-dollar donations, since the last filings were released in mid-July. The largest donation came from former New York Mets majority owner Fred Wilpon’s Sterling Mets LP, which gave $44,700. Wilpon and his son Jeff, each gave another $22,350 to Cuomo in July. Other donors included Dan Klores, who started public relations firm DKC, and real estate executives William Mack and William Rudin, according to filings released Tuesday.
