Who in Tewksbury Gave Presidential Cash?

TEWKSBURY, 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 Tewksbury in a landslide.

According to the Federal Election Commission, the former Secretary of State has received $18,541 from Tewksbury residents. She is followed by Republican nominee Donald Trump receiving $6,302 and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson receiving $650. Green Party candidate Jill Stein did not receive any individual campaign contributions from residents.

However, New York Businessman Donald Trump closed the gap between his Democratic adversary in terms of average donations. Trump received just 55 donations from residents, but had an average donation of $121.19. Clinton received an average of $137.34, but received 135 donations. Johnson's donation average was $130, but only received five separate donations.

Clinton's lead in Tewksbury 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.
