Andrew Yang accuses rival NYC mayoral candidate Eric Adams of ‘assault’ on campaign finance system Shant Shahrigian With a significant chunk of voters still undecided weeks away from the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, candidates continued their bitter war of words against one another on Tuesday. Businessman Andrew Yang accused Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams of waging “an assault” on the city’s campaign finance system, pointing to a recent New York Times report detailing how Adams has used his office to help supporters. For small-dollar contributions from New Yorkers, the city provides mayoral candidates with “matching funds” at an eight-to-one ratio.
