Democratic presidential hopefuls’ fundraising in Arizona largely mirrors their nationwide success so far, though there hasn’t been much money to be found in the Grand Canyon State.
Arizonans contributed a total of nearly $650,000 to Democratic presidential candidates through June 30, when the second reporting period of the year ended, according to Federal Election Commission Data.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who leads the extensive field of candidates with more than $46 million raised nationally, tops the list in Arizona. The independent Vermont senator has raised about $131,000 here.
Sanders is also the runaway leader in the number of contributions he’s received from Arizonans with 2,215, more than twice as many as Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and five times as many California U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris. (Some individuals gave multiple times.)
