Los Alamitos-Seal Beach's Top Democratic Presidential Campaign Contributors

Voters in 12 states take to the polls on Super Tuesday, March 1, to cast their ballots for the presidential nomination in each party, and if campaign contributions are any indication of appeal, Hillary Clinton should be a big winner on the democratic side.

While the California primary isn’t until June, several of your neighbors have already shelled out big bucks in support of their favored candidate.

Clinton has three big-spenders in Seal Beach and Los Alamitos, who contributed $2,700, the maximum an individual can donate to a campaign allowed under federal law.

They are:

• BARBARA DAVIS
• DONALD JENKINS
• FRIEDA CAPLAN

Overall, she has 261 donors in the Seal Beach, Los Alamitos and neighboring cities that share a zip code starting with the numbers 907.

Sanders has no big money donors in the area, but he does have 543 donors in the 907XX zip code who gave smaller amounts.

His biggest spenders in Seal Beach and Los Alamitos both gave $500. They are:

• JONATHAN SANDROLINI
• STAN BRINTON .

Californian’s have given $28,562,022 to Democratic candidates and $18,789,272 to Republicans.

Clinton has received $21,899,489 so far in campaign donations from people in the state, according to publicly available contribution data from the Federal Election Commission.

Her rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, has raised $$6,109,590 in California.

That’s somewhat in line with nationwide numbers that show Clinton with $126.4 million in individual contributions compared to $95.4 million for Sanders.

Those numbers, though, are a bit misleading.

While Clinton’s campaign has raised big bucks from individuals, she’s also been helped by massive money pouring in through Priorities USA Action, a pro-Clinton Super PAC that has raised more than $50 million in support of the former Secretary of State, according to OpenSecrets.

Sanders has raised just $44,968 from outside groups, according to OpenSecrets.

Following voting in three states, Clinton leads Sanders in pledged delegates, 52 to 51. But Clinton holds a commanding lead over the Vermont Sen. in the race for the nomination overall with the support of 445 superdelegates compared to just 18 superdelegates for Sanders.
