Which 2020 candidates are Brooklyn residents backing with their bucks?
More Brooklyn residents have donated their hard-earned cash to Bernie Sanders than to any other presidential candidate, figures from the real estate data portal RentHop and the Federal Election Commission show.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, Sanders received funds from 2,796 individual donors in Brooklyn. Coming in second in the borough was Elizabeth Warren, with 1,791 unique donors. (RentHop’s study is based on the fundraising numbers from the months of October, November and December.)
This is more than double the number of individual Brooklyn donors Sanders had during the third quarter, when he was also the borough’s leader in individual donations.
