Who in Wilmington Gave Presidential Cash?

WILMINGTON, 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 Wilmington in a landslide.

According to the Federal Election Commission, the former Secretary of State has received $10,597 from Wilmington residents. She is followed by Republican nominee Donald Trump receiving $2,681. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein did not receive any reported campaign contributions from Wilmington residents.

However, New York Businessman Donald Trump received an ever-so-slightly higher average donation than his Democratic adversary. Trump received just 31 donations from residents, but had an average donation of $86.46. Clinton received an average of $86.16, but received 123 donations.

Clinton's lead in Wilmington 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.
