Here's Who Bed-Stuy Is Supporting In The Race For NYC Mayor

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — A new interactive map gives a glimpse into who New Yorkers are supporting in the crowded race for the city's next mayor — with their wallets, that is.

The map — published by the City University's Center for Urban Research and the city's Campaign Finance Board — uses financial data for a ZIP code and candidate-level breakdown of campaign donations in the 2021 elections.

In the race for the highest office in New York City, it shows where money in the multi-million race is coming from and key information about where top candidates have found their base.

Bed-Stuy residents have so far poured roughly $108,000 into the mayoral race, according to totals for Stuyvesant Heights and the western portion of the neighborhood, designated as Bedford.

Unsurprisingly, nearly half of those donations have gone to Brooklyn's own Borough President Eric Adams, who hails from nearby Brownsville and represented Central Brooklyn's 20th District in the state senate before becoming the borough's leader.

About 282 Bed-Stuy residents donated just under $48,000 to the borough president's campaign.

The support is part of what political analysts have pointed to in naming Adams as one of the frontrunners in the mayoral race. Politico concluded that Adams "has gained the most financial support from the broadest swath of New Yorkers," according to the map.

His support also includes key voting blocs in Queens and southern Brooklyn, the analysts said.

Another frontrunner across the five boroughs is Comptroller Scott Stringer, though his base is largely in Manhattan. In Bed-Stuy, only about 29 people gave to Stringer's campaign.

Here's a look at who else residents in Bed-Stuy gave the most to in the mayoral race:

• Eric Adams
  • 282 donations totaling $47,704

• Jocelyn Taylor
  • 72 donations totaling $17,511

• Dianne Morales
  • 292 donations totaling $15,083

• Rueben Diaz, Jr.
  • Four donations totaling $7,600

• Scott Stringer
  • 29 donations totaling $6,590

• Maya Wiley
  • 108 donations totaling $5,654

While Bed-Stuy was in one of the top tiers as far as the amount of money it has given to candidates so far, the neighborhood is outpaced by several brownstone Brooklyn and Manhattan spots where residents gave hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Upper West Side's 10023 ZIP code covering the Lincoln Square area has raised $542,300, the most money for the mayor's race of any ZIP code in the five boroughs.

On the other side of the spectrum, residents in ZIP codes like 11428 in Queens Village and 10455 in the South Bronx have donated less than $400.
