The New York City Campaign Finance Board today announced the fourth and final payment of public matching funds for the 2009 primary elections to qualifying candidates participating in the Campaign Finance Program. A total of $4,263,538 was distributed to 106 candidates. For a list of candidates, please see below.
The Program matches each dollar a New York City resident gives, up to $175 per contributor, with six dollars in public funds, for a maximum of $1,050 in public funds per contributor.
By joining New York City’s voluntary Campaign Finance Program, candidates agree to abide by strict spending limits. In return, candidates in the Program may qualify for public matching funds.
Determination. The Campaign Finance Board also decided on a Rule 5-02(a) petition filed by 2009 City Council candidate Alan Gerson (CD #1) to challenge a determination of nonpayment at the Board’s September 2 meeting. The Board denied the petition, affirming the September 2 determination.
Payment Ratification. The Board ratified an interim payment made last week in the amount of $19,152 to the campaign of Eric Gioia for public advocate.
Additional payment dates. There will be four scheduled payment dates prior to the November 3 general election: October 1, 8, 21, and 29.
