Plainfield: Top Democratic Presidential Campaign Contributors

PLAINFIELD, IL — Illinois voters will take to the polls March 15 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.

Clinton has received $4,168,018 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 $1,021,247 in Illinois.

Nationwide numbers 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.

Here’s the list of people who have donated $100 or more to Clinton’s and Sanders’ campaign.

Clinton

• Joan Caton — $260
• Randy Ferrell — $465.30
• Sherry Husa — $300
• Ted Kanellakes — $2,700
• Jen Prewitt-Zingg — $250

Sanders

• Christopher Julun — $100
• Mark Polito — $500
• Vicky Polito — $600
