Financial industry donors are continuing to pump money into former Citigroup executive Raymond McGuire’s long-shot bid to be New York City mayor despite his lackluster popularity among voters. Wall Street has showered McGuire with more than five times as much money as it’s given to any of his competitors, helping him top the field in fundraising as he founders at the bottom of polls for the decisive June 22 Democratic primary.
Main Idea: Wall Street is still backing Raymond McGuire’s New York City mayor run, even though he is polling badly before the Democratic primary.
Key Points:
Wall Street money can give Raymond McGuire extra reach in the New York City race, even if voters are not backing him, which can leave households and small businesses worried about big donor influence.
New York City voters may still gain more attention to campaign issues as the race highlights who will shape taxes, services, and local rules.
