Andrew Cuomo’s effort to return to political office as New York City Mayor took a significant blow after he was denied over $4 million in public matching funds, according to a report in the New York Post.
“Last Friday, the campaign was informed by the campaign finance board that, due to a technical software error, contributions collected on one of our vendor platforms, NGP, were missing one of the fields required by the Campaign Finance Board, and so while we met the thresholds necessary to receive matching funds, the campaign had to remedy this technical matter,” campaign spokesperson Rich Azzopardi told the outlet.
