A PAC raising money for a potential Hillary Clinton presidential run in 2016 reports big donations from the coasts, but not much from flyover country.
In fact, this graphic from the Center for Public Integrity shows exactly zero donations from Utah to the Ready for Hillary PAC.
Most of the money comes from New York and California, but there are a few other donations that are interesting:
Ready for Hillary reported raising roughly $500 from one resident of Iowa, which conducts the nation’s first presidential nomination caucuses, and $250 from a single resident of New Hampshire, which conducts the first presidential primary elections.
Federal law requires information about donors who give more than $200 to political committees to be publicly reported, including donors’ address, employer and occupation. Individuals who give less than $200 are not required to be disclosed, and Ready for Hillary has accepted roughly $200,000 in such contributions so far this year.
Ready for Hillary reported itemized donations from individuals in 35 states, the District of Columbia and the territory of Puerto Rico, according to the Center for Public Integrity’s analysis, though super PAC spokesman Seth Bringman noted that the group has received financial support from more than 10,000 donors in “all 50 states,” as well as “American military bases throughout the world.”
