NYC-MYR: Yang hits donation requirements to get city funds in NYC mayor's race

Andrew Yang hit the donation requirements in order to obtain matching city funding in the New York City mayor’s race, the former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate confirmed on Sunday.

Yang, a technology entrepreneur, announced in a Sunday tweet that his campaign had passed the threshold of receiving $250,000 from at least 1,000 donors in the city.

Now, each dollar from New York City residents in small contributions, with a maximum of $250, can be matched by up to $8 in public funds, reaching a maximum of $2,000 per contributor.

“Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen - the fastest campaign to hit the matching threshold with the most grassroots donors!” he posted. “Every small donation from NYCers now gets matched 8 to 1! We are on our way.”

Yang and Stringer are the most compelling candidates. We'll see what the others can muster.
