Maya Wiley's campaign hopes of receiving millions in taxpayer-dollar matching funds were dashed Wednesday after the City's Campaign Finance Board announced a new round of payments.  

The Wiley campaign had estimated $2 million in public matching dollars just last month, but after the board announced payments for 124 candidates, totaling more than $16 million, she was not included in the lineup.

The financial setback is the most recent evidence in a narrative the campaign has struggled to counter: Despite regularly appearing on cable news television and being the city's former top lawyer, Wiley may have a name recognition and viability problem.

Last month, prior to the board's deadline, Wiley released a video thanking supporters for helping raise more than $700,000 to the campaign — $280,000 of that eligible for the match.

“I am going to tell you with tremendous pride, with tremendous humility and excitement, that you, we did this," she said in the video, posted to Twitter on January 13. "I am overwhelmed and have been by your love and your support in me."

After reviewing the campaign's submission, the board ruled she did not meet the qualifications.

Wiley's campaign declined to comment. Campaign sources said they are awaiting a report from the board that outlines the exact reason they did not meet the requirements. If there are technicalities they can contest, it is possible the campaign could make up some ground financially. It is unclear if it would be enough to qualify her for the public funds.

Only two candidates for mayor, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and City Comptroller Scott Stringer, qualified for funds in the most recent cycle.

The Campaign Finance Board provides a generous 8-to-1 matching funds on donations from city residents who give between $10 and $250. In order to qualify, candidates for mayor must raise a minimum of $250,000 in eligible donations.
