Harrison's Top Democratic Presidential Campaign Contributors

HARRISON, NY - New Yorkers will take to the polls April 19 to cast their ballots for the presidential nomination in each party, and if campaign contributions are any indication of appeal, it looks like former U.S. Sen. and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is on the upswing.

Clinton has received more than $21.9 million to Sen. Bernie Sander’s $2.3 million, according to Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports.

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.

However, in terms of who’s donating, Clinton is only slightly more popular than Sanders in her home county of Westchester. According to the FCC, she has 1,791 donations in communities with a 105XX zip code. He has 1,341.
