January is “NYC Democratic Primary fundraising reporting” season at the NYC Campaign Finance Board.

Some highlights from local politicos in the 11377 and 11104 zip codes who gave cash in this cycle to NYC candidates in advance of this year’s primary:

• Sunnyside city councillor Julie Won donated $1,000 to various candidates. Mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani made the cut, Jessica Ramos and Zellnor Myrie, and Scott Stringer did not.
• Former Sunnyside city councillor Jimmy Van Bramer was not stingy, donating $3,000 to several candidates, notably former Queens Borough President challenger Donovan Richards, as well as a chunk of change to Lander.
• Former city councillor candidates from the 2021 mega race made showed up: Amit Bagga donated $2,075 to just about every random Democrat running, Jim Magee donated $350 to Julie Won, and Jonathan Bailey donated to Mamdani.
• A number of people donated to our indicted mayor Eric Adams: local landlords and real estate developers the Disaverio family donated $1,750, gas company owner Jerry Drenis donated $3,100, and Ziaur Rahman made a rare post-election donation of $500.
