Zeldin outpaces Cuomo in NY gubernatorial fundraising fight
Fox News
Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York announced on Friday that he’s brought in over $4 million in fundraising since he launched a 2022 campaign for governor of New York. He easily outpaced the roughly $2.5 million embattled three-term Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo raised during the first six months of the year.
Zeldin, a staunch ally of former President Trump and a four-term lawmaker who represents the state’s 1st Congressional District in the eastern half of Long Island, announced his candidacy on April 8 during an appearance on Fox News’ "Fox and Friends," and quickly raised in $1 million in his first day as a gubernatorial candidate. Zeldin’s team reported on Thursday that the congressman, who’s been busily campaigning across New York State the past three and a half months, received contributions from over 9,000 donors from all 62 of the state’s counties. The spotlighted Zeldin’s grassroots fundraising, saying that 94% of the total 12,500 donations were $250 or less.More Related News
