Eric Adams raises $2 million for law-and-order mandate during mayoral race

2021-08-30

[NYPOST] Democrat Eric Adams

...retired New York City police captain, member of the New York State Senate, first Black Brooklyn borough president, law and order Dem after a brief fling with the Publicans. The New York Times isn't fond of him, suspecting he may not actually be black...
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.
