The unelected city Campaign Finance Board denied Mayor Adams access to over $4 million for his reelection, illustrating the undemocratic nature of New York's campaign-finance system.
Adams was declared ineligible for public funds based on alleged crimes, yet his federal trial won't even begin until April, raising questions about political motivations.
The CFB, which operates without direct electoral accountability, behaves as if it has a public mandate to influence and determine election results, undermining democratic processes.
The CFB has significantly influenced past elections, including the 2013 mayoral race, denying matching funds to candidates amidst corruption allegations, affecting New Yorkers' outcomes.
