NEW YORK, NY (02/28/2022) (readMedia)-- Today, former Governor Cuomo released television ads, paid for by his campaign funds. In response, Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause/NY, released the following statement:
"Former Governor Cuomo is misusing campaign funds for personal purposes, buying television ads to rebuild his image and smear his victims. His donors gave him money to run for public office, not to use as a personal slush fund to salve his ego. Common Cause/NY filed a complaint with the NYSBOE enforcement counsel several months ago, and we're hopeful the investigation will confirm what we know: this is a blatant misuse of campaign funds."
