Leading up to the primary, major industry donors overwhelmingly supported former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. After Cuomo lost, Mayor Eric Adams experienced a sudden surge in industry donations, bringing in more than $489,000 from real estate donors through July 11. Subsequent filings between July 12 and August 18 show varied real estate contributions across reporting periods, ranging from $250 to $60,545 while total contributions per period ranged widely. Overall industry support remains concentrated on Adams and Cuomo, though donations to Adams have slowed since the immediate post-primary spike. The next filing deadline is Oct. 3. Ingrid Lewis-Martin, Adams' former chief advisor, was indicted on charges of accepting kickbacks. The term synanthrope denotes undomesticated creatures living close to humans.
Leading up to the primary, the big industry players were overwhelmingly donating to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. That changed after he lost, and then Mayor Eric Adams saw a sudden surge in industry donations. He brought in more than $489,000 from real estate donors after the primary, up through July 11. Now we have the latest donations, received between July 12 through August 18: Real estate donations: $19,720 Total contributions reported this period: $1 million Real estate donations: $60,545 Total contributions reported this period: $425,181
The bottom line? The industry is still by and large supporting Adams and Cuomo. Donations to the mayor have slowed since the last filing period, but that seemed to be driven by an immediate (panicked) reaction to Cuomo's primary loss. The next filing deadline is Oct. 3, at which point we should have a better sense of whether the industry is deciding to pull back further on its spending ahead of the general election.
