Alfred Cockfield II. <\/p>\n<p>The $10,000 donation, which was wired to the Zeldin campaign by the group\u2019s treasurer, Carmen Sterling, was posted on the state Board of Election\u2019s website Monday night \u2014 just hours before Tuesday\u2019s final Election Day vote. <\/p>\n<p>Within two weeks of an election, campaign committees are required to report new donations within 24 hours to the state elections board.<\/p>\n<p>The donation will surely raise eyebrows. Cockfield is considered one of Adams\u2019 early supporters and confidantes, sources said.<\/p>\n<p>Adams is backing fellow Democrat Hochul for governor, but political insiders told The Post that the mayor wouldn\u2019t lose sleep if Zeldin wins because the Long Island GOP congressman would be a stronger supporter of the mayor\u2019s crime-fighting agenda, such as an overhaul of the unpopular cashless bail law. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/adams-zeldin-725.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"ERIC ADAMS\" class=\"wp-image-24567124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/adams-zeldin-725.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/adams-zeldin-725.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/adams-zeldin-725.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>An organization that strongly supports Mayor Eric Adams is supporting Lee Zeldin\u2019s election.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">William Farrington<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/adams-zeldin-721.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"lee zeldin\" class=\"wp-image-24567121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/adams-zeldin-721.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/adams-zeldin-721.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/adams-zeldin-721.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The political action committee Striving for a Better New York is supporting Lee Zeldin with a $10,000 donation. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Polaris<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Adams, through a rep, emphasized the mayor is a strong Hochul booster and has nothing to do with the Cockfield group\u2019s support of Zeldin. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Adams campaign has no connection whatsoever to this PAC.
