Pro-crypto org backs Andrew Cuomo for NYC mayor as election approaches
With less than a week until New Yorkers choose their next mayor, a political organization promoting digital assets has endorsed and spent funds supporting Andrew Cuomo.
Innovate NY, a self-described “pro-digital assets” political organization funded with about $100,000 ahead of the New York City mayoral election, has backed independent candidate and former state Governor Andrew Cuomo.
In a Tuesday notice, Innovate NY endorsed Cuomo for mayor, the race for which is already in the middle of early voting. The political group cited an agenda that included “blockchain, tokenization, public-benefit stablecoins, and artificial intelligence.”
The organization, registered as an independent spender with the New York City Campaign Finance Board, was funded with $99,500 from six individuals through two companies as of Wednesday.
