Mayor Adams Faces Scrutiny Over Campaign Fund Irregularities

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a leading challenger to Mayor Eric Adams, missed a crucial deadline to receive public matching funds for his mayoral campaign, delaying his eligibility until January. Despite this setback, Lander's campaign remains confident, with plans to announce Alison Hirsh as campaign manager. Meanwhile, the New York City Campaign Finance Board is set to decide on Adams' eligibility for matching funds amid his federal indictment. Former City Comptroller Scott Stringer is the only candidate currently eligible for matching funds.
