Greenwich Residents Raise Millions for Hillary Clinton

A list of Connecticut residents who have raised $100,000 or more for Clinton election organizations.

GREENWICH, CT — Several Greenwich residents have helped raise millions of dollars for Hillary Clinton.

Clinton's campaign lists "Hillblazers" who are individuals who have contributed and/or raised $100,000 or more for Hillary for America, the Hillary Victory Fund or Hillary Action Fund. It doesn't specify the exact amount raised.

Donald Trump's campaign hasn't routinely released information about fundraisers and donation bundlers, according to the Connecticut Mirror.
