Pro-Cuomo super PAC launching nearly $300K field operation in final days of NYC mayoral race
The main super PAC boosting Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign is launching a field operation in the final days of the mayor’s race to the tune of nearly $300,000 — including more than $14,000 spent just on T-shirts for volunteers, new filings show.
The expenditure from Fix the City, which has raised nearly $20 million to suppor Cuomo, comes after the ex-governor’s main rival in the Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani, has mounted a significant field game, deploying tens of thousands of mostly unpaid canvassers to knock doors for him and hand out campaign literature.
Cuomo’s campaign hasn’t launched its own paid field operation, so Fix the City’s effort fills a void just as the June 24 primary campaign enters the final few days.
The PAC, which is largely being funded by billionaire business titans like ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg and cosmetics tycoon William Lauder, first plunked down $173,875 on June 12 to hire Bartholomew Communications and Strategies, a Manhattan consulting firm, to manage the field operation, disclosures show. The PAC then paid the firm another $109,044 on June 16 for the field operation work.
