23 August 2021: DNC Associated Firm to Continue Providing Party Voter Database Access to Cuomo

Democratic National Committee’s Top Data Firm Stands by Cuomo

Despite the multiple scandals that forced his premature resignation from office in disgrace, Andrew M. Cuomo will continue to benefit from access to services provided by the firm the Democratic National Committee provided with a monopoly over the Democratic party's voter database.

Democratic Party data behemoth NGP VAN has given Cuomo a platform to collect donations from supporters through his official campaign website. NGP VAN is a major player in liberal politics, serving as the sole proprietor of the Democratic National Committee's voter database. Its relationship with Cuomo stands in contrast, however, to the Democratic power players, including President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), who abandoned him after a state report called sexual misconduct accusations against him credible.

The firm has a history of providing access to its data to organizations mired in scandals:

NGP VAN has leveraged its relationship with the DNC to work with virtually every major Democratic campaign, as well as hundreds of labor unions. Cuomo paid NGP VAN at least $12,000 this year, according to campaign finance documents reviewed by the Free Beacon. The firm has built a reputation on working with Democrats who face misconduct allegations. In addition to its ongoing support for Cuomo, the platform still works with the Lincoln Project even after media reports revealed that the organization's top brass knew that cofounder John Weaver preyed on boys as young as 14.

The report also addresses what Cuomo may do with the $18 million his political campaign organization holds in its bank accounts:

New York election law allows Cuomo, who is set to leave office on Aug. 25, to spend his $18 million war chest on another gubernatorial run in the future or on donations to other candidates who seek office. According to several reports, some in Cuomo's inner circle say he may mount another run for governor in 2022.

Since pending legal actions involving Cuomo's scandals may keep him otherwise occupied well through 2022, we think that's unlikely except as a means to spend the funds on things that somehow personally benefit Cuomo or members of his family, where he could put his children and other family members on his campaign organization's payroll while going through the motions of campaigning. As for the potential of being elected as NY governor in 2022, Cuomo would have to overcome the earned reputation of being just another New York governor who quit after scandals forced him from office when the going got too tough for him.
