DEMOCRAT SHAFIQ ABDUSSABUR EARMARKS $83,000 FIRST QUARTER
The First-time Democratic Candidate for Mayor and former Beaver Hills
Alder Announces Fundraising Totals Ahead of the April 10th Filing
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Thursday, April 6, 2023 – Today, Democratic Candidate for Mayor of New Haven, Shafiq Abdussabur, announced his campaign’s fundraising totals ahead of the first quarter campaign filing due on April 10th.
The campaign raised $47,200.82 in contributions during its first financial quarter, which was from January 1, 2023, and ended on March 31, 2023. Of the 420 total contributors,274 are from New Haven. By participating in the Democracy Fund–New Haven’s municipal public financing program–the campaign expects $12,322.00 in matching funds from New Haven donors and the one-time $23,000 grant, totaling $82,522.82 for this first quarter.
“While my opponents have the benefits of hundreds of thousands of dollars of previous campaign data and donors, upper-crust connections from their lifepath, or personal funds to pay their way into the spotlight,” said Mayoral Candidate Shafiq Abdussabur, “I am so proud and grateful for the hardworking families, friends, loved ones, neighbors, local business owners and community leaders who stood up and donated towards A Better New Haven.”
For all registered New Haven voters that contribute to participating candidates, the Democracy Fund will provide a two-to-one match on contribution amounts of $5 to $35 and a $70 match for any donation over $35. The maximum contribution amount is $445 per contributor. In addition, when a campaign has received 200 New Haven donors, it will automatically qualify for a one-time $23,000 grant issued by the Fund during the summer.
Municipal campaigns have until April 10th to submit their first quarter filings, where the details of contributors and expenses will be made public. Those participating in the Democracy Fund will submit their filing on eCRIS, the State Election Enforcement Commission (SEEC) online filling site. Looking ahead, the second quarter of campaign fundraising is from April 1st through June 30th, and campaigns will submit their second quarter filings on July 10th.
“The fact that we had an $83,000 first quarter shows real momentum for change in New Haven,” Abdussabur added. “We aren’t leveraging over a decade of past campaign donor data. We are meeting people where they are at in this grassroots movement and bringing them together. New Haveners are ready to start A Better New Haven come September 12th, and that starts with unifying the City for change,” he concluded.
Democrat Shafiq Abdussabur is running for Mayor of New Haven. The Democratic Primary is Tuesday, September 12th. For more information, visit www.VoteShafiq.com.
