Billionaire Alice Walton Donates $100,000 to Cuomo Mayor PAC

Billionaire Walmart Inc. heiress Alice Walton gave $100,000 in recent days to the Super PAC backing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s campaign for New York City mayor.

The donation, dated Aug. 6, is among a handful of six-figure contributions the PAC — Fix the City — has received in recent weeks. It’s the latest sign of life in a mayoral campaign many donors and political observers wrote off as moribund in the days after Cuomo’s surprising loss in the June Democratic primary election to 33-year-old New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist.
