‘2025 starts today’: An FBI inquiry into Mayor Adams’ campaign complicates reelection bid
Less than an hour after the news broke Thursday that FBI agents had raided the home of a key fundraiser for Mayor Eric Adams, Evan Roth Smith, a political consultant and pollster, posted a hot take on social media.
“He’s begging for a challenger, and one with integrity,” said Connor Farrell, the CEO and founder of Left Rising, a political group that raises money for progressive causes and candidates, in a text.Evan Thies, a spokesperson for Adams’ reelection campaign, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
That bigger something involved federal agents searching and hauling out boxes from the Brooklyn home of Brianna Suggs, a 25-year-old fundraiser who began working for Adams as an intern when he was Brooklyn borough president. But if conversations are heating up behind-the-scenes, those interested in running appear to be laying low, at least for now.Jasmine Gripper and Ana María Archila, incoming co-directors for the left-leaning Working Families Party, released a statement criticizing Adams, saying they were “disturbed” by the campaign finance inquiry.
Bill Neidhardt, a progressive strategist and sharp critic of Adams, argued that the mayor’s reelection prospects had been weakening even prior to Thursday’s news. He said voters had a “plethora” of policy decisions, such as the migrant crisis and budget cuts, that should dissuade them from giving the mayor a second term.
Eric Ulrich, the former buildings commissioner, has been indicted by Bragg for taking bribes to dole out favors for friends, associates and business interests.
