Latest billionaire backers of Andrew Cuomo's mayoral run: The Rockefellers

Andrew Cuomo’s run for mayor has attracted financial support from some of the country’s richest individuals — and the Rockefellers are the latest addition to that list.

Three members of the Rockefeller family, which has deep roots in New York politics and ranks as one of the wealthiest dynasties in American history, recently pumped $75,000 into a pro-Cuomo super PAC that’s boosting the former governor’s campaign for City Hall, filings released this week show.

Businessman David Rockefeller, Jr. and his wife, Susan Rockefeller, each gave the PAC, Fix the City, $25,000 on April 24, the records show. Their contributions came after David’s younger cousin, environmental lawyer Laurance Rockefeller Jr., chipped in $25,000 to the PAC on April 16.

The PAC has raised more than $6.2 million to date, per disclosures. It has already spent more than $2.5 million of that on TV and social media ads touting Cuomo as a tested leader who’d put “the city back on track.”
