CRE Gets Its Ducks And Dollars In A Row For Crucial Mayoral Run There are more than 30 people currently running for mayor. “This is a critical moment for real leadership,” said RXR CEO Scott Rechler, who is also chairman of the Regional Plan Association. “There's no superman out there, but we want someone that's capable, someone that's well-intentioned, someone that is not tied down by ideology — and someone that reaches out to the broader New York community to come together to rebuild the city.” More than 30 people have thrown their hat in the ring, including Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and city Comptroller Scott Stringer, both of whom lead in fundraising, with $7.3M and $6.5M, respectively, per the New York City Campaign Finance Board. Ray Maguire, who is leaving his job as vice chairman at Citigroup to enter the race, now has $4.8M of private funds in his coffers.
