Who is Donating to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in 11768

See who is contributing to the Democratic presidential candidates in Northport.

New York voters will take to the polls on April 19 to cast their ballots for the presidential nomination in each party, and if campaign contributions are any indication of appeal, Hillary Clinton should be a big winner on the Democratic side.

Clinton has received $21,874,766 so far in campaign donations from people in the state, according to publicly available contribution data from the Federal Election Commission.

Her rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, has raised $2,333,623 in New York.

That’s somewhat in line with nationwide numbers that show Clinton with $126.4 million in individual contributions compared to $95.4 million for Sanders.

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.

Here in Northport, Clinton seems to be the Democratic favorite. Approximately 12 people have donated a total of $15,575 to the Clinton campaign.
