New York Democrats block Blakeman's access to public funds
"Kathy Hochul and Democrats are drunk on power and rigging our elections. The self-styled 'defenders of democracy' tried to rig our elections with their illegal gerrymander in 2022."
"Republicans have been warning about the corruptibility of public campaign finance for years, and now New Yorkers are seeing exactly how Democrats will weaponize the system to protect their own power."
The New York Campaign Finance Board ruled that Bruce Blakeman's application for public financing was deficient, denying him $7 million in matching funds. This decision, made along party lines, has drawn criticism from Republicans who accuse Democrats of attempting to undermine Blakeman's campaign against incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul. The board also rejected funding for five minor-party candidates. Blakeman's campaign plans to challenge the ruling, citing concerns over corruption and the implications for a competitive race.
