Cuomo Allies Form a Super PAC to Push His Anticipated Bid for Mayor
Allies of former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo launched a super PAC on Wednesday to boost his likely campaign for mayor of New York City, the most concrete sign yet that he is preparing to jump into the race in the coming days.
The super PAC, called Fix the City, was registered on Wednesday with the State Board of Elections. It aims to raise up to $15 million from wealthy donors to help amplify Mr. Cuomo’s message, according to people familiar with the group’s plans.
That would be more than twice what the principal super PAC supporting Eric Adams raised during his successful 2021 race for mayor. It could dwarf spending on behalf of other Democrats.
Steven M. Cohen, a lawyer and one of Mr. Cuomo’s most steadfast advisers, has spearheaded the formation of the super PAC. Its leadership team includes Brian Ellner, a key player in the legalization of same-sex marriage in New York when Mr. Cuomo was governor; John Cordo, a major Albany lobbyist; and Mitra Hormozi, a prominent lawyer who worked with Mr. Cuomo when he was attorney general and who will act as the super PAC’s treasurer.
