Who in Burlington Gave Presidential Cash?

BURLINGTON, MA — With the election just a few days away, much of the campaigning has already been done. If dollar signs equaled votes, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will have won Burlington in a landslide.

According to the Federal Election Commission, the former Secretary of State has received $20,394 from Burlington residents. She is followed by Republican nominee Donald Trump receiving $3,569 and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson receiving $550. Green Party candidate Jill Stein did not receive any individual campaign contributions from residents.

However, New York Businessman Donald Trump topped his Democratic adversary in terms of average donations. Trump received just 39 donations from residents, but had an average donation of $91.51. Clinton received an average of $65.79, but received 310 donations. Johnson's donation average was $275, but only received two separate donations.

Clinton's lead in Burlington reflects to her lead in the historically Democratic Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The FEC indicates that Clinton has raised $18,727,470 in Massachusetts; compared to Trump's $1,350,076, Johnson's $150,199 and Stein's $39,177.

Here are a list of the five highest individual donations given to each candidate. Please note that the donation list only includes donations made directly to candidates and does not include PAC donations. The maximum an individual can give to a campaign is $2,700.
