The proud socialist Zohran Mamdani has brought nearly $1 million in donations over the past two months.
The campaign of Queens Legislative Member, 33, reported a collection of about $845,000.
“We have momentum, exercise and money to win,” Mamdani said in a statement.
More than $500,000 in cash raised since January is eligible for the city's 8-1 matching fund program, the campaign said. That means the left-handed candidate is expected to win $4 million in taxpayer cash next month.
Mamdani's haul was second only to former governor Andrew Cuomo, who led the field of candidates for the Democratic primary in June.
He is expected to qualify for a matching fund of more than $4 million next month.
Mamdani highlighted the New Yorker fight in an exclusive interview with the Post last week, focusing on socialist platforms to free public transport, childcare, rent freezing for millions of city residents, and opening urban-owned grocery stores.
“We have a North Star, and it is all driven by the belief that working-class New Yorkers can't afford to worry about anything beyond the cost.
His campaign boasted of receiving donations from over 16,000 people during his latest fundraising period.
Mamdani has far surpassed city chief Bloodlander and former computer Scott Stringer, who performed dramatically during this reporting period. Lander had $227,867, while Stringer raised $186,986.
That fundraising success has also been translated into a promising poll number of relatively unknown anti-Israel lawmakers.
Last month, one survey found that Mamdani won seven rounds with early Frontrunner, Cuomo and Lander.
Still, the money margins have been thinner between Mamdani, Lander and Stringer compared to recent entrants Cuomo and Council Chair Adrian Adams.
The Landers team said he is rapidly approaching the $8.3 million spending cap, having raised a total of more than $6.7 million since he announced the candidates. And Stringer recently surpassed his $5 million raise for his campaign, including a matching fund.
Incumbent mayor Eric Adams has been denied a public fund match due to his ongoing controversy and federal accusations, but millions are still earning cash. However, it was not immediately clear how he did with his latest haul.
Meanwhile, the funding for Adrienne Adams' campaign is behind in comparison. She raised $128,000 in the first week of the campaign. It was far below the qualifying for matching funds.
