Chappaqua, Mt Kisco's Republican Presidential Campaign Contributions
Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump haven't raised a lot of money in New York.

New Yorkers will take to the polls April 19 to cast their ballots for the presidential nomination in each party, and New York residents have donated more than twice as much money to Democrats as to the Republican candidates running for president.
GOP candidates have raised $10.4 million in the Empire State, compared to the Dems’ $24.5 million, according to Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports. Of course, Hillary Clinton is a New Yorker, domiciled in Chappaqua, and Bernie Sanders is next door. (Donald Trump does have a house in Bedford.)
