New York State’s Public Campaign Finance Program matches donations from Assembly District 70 residents to our campaign. This allows us to focus on grassroots donations from our voters and run a race without taking donations from corporations, real estate, or special interest lobbies that are hurting Harlem.

If you live in Assembly District 70, your donation up to $250 gets matched:

12x for the first $50 - thats $600 in matching funds for a $50 donation!

9x for the next $100 - a $150 donation unlocks $1,500 in matching funds!

8x for the last $100 - a $250 donation unlocks $2,300 in matching funds!

When a candidate takes money from interests like real estate, they no longer just answer to their voters. They have to take developers' interests into account, which hurts tenants. That’s not us.

Our campaign is proud to be funded by grassroots donors. That means real donations from real people. We do not take any donations from real estate, corporate interests, the Israel Lobby, or Super PACs.

Our opponents are terrified of the power that we are building in Harlem and they have a lot to lose if we win this race. That is why the Wrights formed a predatory super PAC, Moving Harlem Forward to defeat us. While their PAC donors have not been disclosed, we know that Cuomo's supporters will be funding both Jordan Wright, our opponent and the PAC. After trying, and failing, to make a nothing story about Conrad having interned for the Florida Attorney General's office as a law student take traction, we learned that the Super PAC is planning to spend $500,000 on a smear ad campaign using this story. Our campaign responded with our own video to set the record straight. But here are the facts:

• Conrad is  a Black man from Florida. He knows how broken the Florida justice system is because he has lived it--he has been brutally attacked by police and wrongfully arrested. 

• He did an internship in the Florida Attorney General’s (AG) Office for two months over a decade ago while he was in law school. The internship was with the AG’s criminal appeals division where he worked to overturn convictions.  

• Since then, he has spent the last eight years working as a public defender with Bronx Defenders where he has freed hundreds of people facing the full weight of the state. 

Now, half a million dollars is being spent to run attack ads against a Public Defender. Who’s funding it? Real estate developers, landlords. The people buying up Harlem. Your $500 rent hike is being spent on lobbyists to strip away your rights.

Nothing beats a night out in Harlem! Catch Conrad watching an Arsenal game at The Fox, having a beer at Harlem Hops, drinking wine from a black-owned vineyard at Musette, playing darts at Mess Hall, or ending the night dancing at Harlem Nights!
