New York City Council candidates in the highly-watched 9th District race in Harlem are getting a last-minute boost from public matching funds, which allows candidates to get an 8-to-1 match for donations up to $175.
Yusef Salaam, a political newcomer and a member of the exonerated Central Park Five, was awarded nearly $117,000 in matching funds from the city last Friday, according to the Campaign Finance Board. It is Salaam’s first public funds payment after months of donations that have largely flowed from outside the Council district.
Assemblymember Inez Dickens has the largest estimated balance ahead of primary day, with almost $127,000 to spend in the pivotal remaining weeks. Assemblymember Al Taylor has a balance of about $103,000. Cash is particularly important for political candidates in the final weeks of a race to fund digital and mail advertising as well as get-out-the-vote operations. That’s especially true for first-time candidates who have no point of reference for how many people they can expect to support them at the polls.
Dickens and Taylor qualified for matching funds earlier on in the race, receiving an additional boost in matching funds last week. Since the beginning of the race, they have yieldd $162,000 and $174,000 in matching funds, respectively.
