Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. has barely raised any money for his campaign, state finance records show — suggesting he’s ceding the field to a slew of Democratic candidates running for his seat.

Vance’s campaign reported receiving less than $2,000 in campaign contributions in the six months leading to a Jan. 11 donation deadline, state Board of Election records out Tuesday show.

That leaves the once-prolific fundraiser with slightly more than $4,000 on hand heading into the June 22 Democratic primary, in which eight other candidates are running.

Vance, first elected in 2009, still hasn’t committed to running for reelection, according to a campaign spokesperson, Stephanie Baez. “DA Vance has not actively been fundraising,” she said.

Just two people donated to Vance’s campaign in the last six months: Theodate Coates, the daughter of a billionaire real estate magnate Benjamin Coates — who has made monthly $300 donations since July — and a West Village resident who gave $100. 

That donor told THE CITY she is ive of how Vance has handled his ongoing investigation into outgoing President Donald Trump’s private business dealings, but did not want to be named or quoted.

Theodate Coates, who could not be reached for comment, has been an ardent Vance er for the last decade, contributing $38,200 to his campaign since February 2011, records indicate. 

The figures come to light as Vance’s investigation of the president has expanded to interviews with Trump’s bank and insurance company. 

If the state probe leads to criminal charges, New York’s case could not be stopped by a presidential pardon, should Trump issue one to himself before leaving office at noon Wednesday.

Rivals Pull Ahead 

Prior to his 2017 re-election run, Vance had amassed close to $1.4 million in his campaign coffers, state campaign finance disclosures show. 

But contributions to Vance’s campaign have waned in recent years amid criticism that his office was too soft on the wealthy and powerful. In 2018, Vance committed to stringent fundraising ethics guidelines based on advice he sought from a Columbia Law School institute.

Last year, his campaign reported receiving roughly $27,000 in contributions, records show. 

The 66-year-old DA’s $4,193.62 campaign fund places him dead last among the eight candidates vying to replace him. 

Leading the pack is Tali Farhadian Weinstein, a professor and former prosecutor in Brooklyn, who has $1.6 million on hand, according to campaign records. Farhadian Weinstein’s campaign has been buoyed by many large donations from individuals in the financial sector and hedge funds. 

Former prosecutor and chief deputy attorney general Alvin Bragg and New York State Assemblymember Dan Quart are neck-and-neck in the fundraising race: Bragg reported he has just over $1 million in his campaign coffers as of January, BOE records show, while Quart has a total of $940,000.  But Bragg took in 3.5 times the donations that Quart did in the most recent filing period, between July of 2020 and this month.

Civil rights attorney Tahanie Aboushi has $561,000 in the bank. Her campaign said 87% of the donations to her campaign in the last quarter were from people giving under $200.

Eliza Orlins, a public defender, has accrued a total of former top official under Vance, has $238,000 on hand and Liz Crotty, a former prosecutor and private litigator, has $166,000.

Lucy Lang, formerly the leader of the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution at John Jay College and once a prosecutor in Vance’s office, has roughly $533,000 in her campaign coffers. 

Lang’s entrance into the campaign in August marked an earlier signal the incumbent district attorney will not seek the office again. As previously reported by THE CITY, sources said Lang is an acolyte of Vance who would not have ed the race if he were seeking reelection.
