Schmoozing Adams plans to $ock Curtis

Democrat Eric Adams isn’t trying to just beat Republican Curtis Sliwa

in the mayoral general election in November — he’s aiming to blow him out of the water.

The retired NYPD captain has raised $2 million over the last 43 days, a war chest for what’s essentially a skirmish with a preordained victor, his supporters told The Post.

Sliwa, by comparison, has garnered $200,000 in contributions.

“He’s growing to crush Curtis Sliwa,” Councilman Eric Ulrich, a Queens Republican who supports the moderate Democratic candidate, told The Post.

Adams is seeking to win by a wide enough margin so that he can have a mandate for his law-and-order agenda at a City Hall with a lefty legislature.

The Brooklyn Beep raised the seven-figure sum by casting a wide net — hitting up both Democrats and Republicans from Queens to the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard— and keeping a brisk schedule of up to five events a day, sources said.

Ken Fisher, a politically connected real estate attorney, hosted a recent fundraiser for Adams at the Sky Bridge Terrace at 2 World Trade Center that brought in $50,000.

Fisher said Adams isn’t taking a November win for granted. But the “larger reason” for filling his campaign coffers is a mayoral mandate.

“It’s an opportunity for him to go out and reinforce the narrative and the image that he wants to create for himself and to take advantage of the fact that he’s a hot commodity. People want to hear what he has to say,” Fisher said.

A top city fundraiser said Adams could pull off a general election victory with about $500,000.

But he’ll likely raise multiples of that — and spend it largely on TV and digital ads, according to campaign sources — because it’s not a heavy lift.

“People want to give you money. You’re the new mayor,” the fundraiser said about Adams, who is heavily favored to win the general election because his party outnumbers Republican voters in the city seven to one.

“It’s a way to keep your supporters activated and to keep people engaged,” the fundraiser said about Adams’ courting of donors. “It’s also a way to get all the people who didn’t support you to support.”

Adams emerged from a crowded filed to win the primary election in June by a slim margin. The self-styled “blue-collar mayor” has been quiet about the fundraisers, where he’s rubbing elbows with one-percenters.

But Sliwa’s campaign manager Robert Hornack drew a contrast to the Guardian Angels founder: “Curtis doesn’t really have to go up to the Hamptons and get wined and dined. Going out with Curtis, you can see the energy that he generates from people in the street. People see him and run to him. It’s like walking down the street with Tom Cruise.”
