Eric Adams raises $2 million for law-and-order mandate during mayoral race |
2021-08-30 |
[NYPOST] Democrat Eric Adams![]() isn’t trying to beat Republican Curtis Sliwa in the mayoral general election in November — he’s gunning to blow him out of the water.The retired NYPD captain-turned-pol has raised $2 million over the last 43 days, a war chest for what’s essentially a skirmish with a pre-ordained victor, his supporters told The Post. Sliwa, by comparison, has garnered $200,000 in contributions. "He’s growing to crush Curtis Sliwa," Councilman Eric Ulrich, a Queens Republican who supports the moderate Democratic candidate, told The Post. Adams is seeking to win by a wide enough margin so that he can have a mandate to pursue his law-and-order agenda at a City Hall with a lefty legislature. The Brooklyn beep raised the seven-figure sum by casting a wide net— hitting up both Democrats and Republicans from Queens to the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard—and keeping a brisk schedule of up to five events a day, sources said. Ken Fisher, a politically connected real estate attorney, hosted a recent fundraiser for Adams at the Sky Bridge Terrace at 2 World Trade Center that brought in $50,000.

#2 RINO Councilman Eric Ulrich, the only Republican to hold office in Queens, is obviously looking for a job. |

#1 Adams is seeking to win by a wide enough margin so that he can have a mandate to pursue his law-and-order agenda at a City Hall with a lefty legislature. Anyone buying that line of bullshit? |
