Millicent Redick is not expected to face any jail time, per the agreement.
A Harlem woman accused of recruiting elderly residents of her housing complex to give illegal donations to Mayor Eric Adams’ 2021 campaign pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct Tuesday, according to a copy of the signed plea agreement obtained by Gothamist.
Last year, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Redick and five other people with allegedly conspiring to collect donations from people who would later be reimbursed, also known as straw donations. The goal, according to prosecutors, was to collect donations small enough to qualify for New York City’s public matching program, which gives candidates $8 in taxpayer funds per every dollar they raise from city residents below a certain threshold.
Redick admitted in the plea deal that between August and November 2021, she purchased money orders at various post offices with the understanding that those money orders would be submitted to Adams’ campaign under the names of people who didn’t actually donate their own money. She also admitted to asking those fake donors to fill out campaign contribution forms and later reimbursing them for their donations.
