NYC Now Explains: How Mayor Adams Is Testing the Campaign Finance Board

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

This week, we’re turning our attention to Mayor Adams’ campaign finances. In his successful 2021 bid, he raised big money. He later landed in hot water with federal prosecutors, accused of taking travel perks and illegal campaign contributions in exchange for official acts. But those charges have since been dismissed, leaving the city's Campaign Finance Board on its own to hold the mayor accountable. Host Janae Pierre and WNYC’s senior politics reporter Brigid Bergin explore what lies ahead for Adams as he pushes for reelection.Miss the previous episodes in our series?
