Good News for Hillary
Hillary Clinton has
currently raised more than $45 million for her primary campaign. According to a
campaign spokeswoman speaking on behalf of the Federal Election Commission
filings, ninety-one percent of the donations to Hillary for America were given
in increments of $100 or less. This is important news for the campaign because
it shows that Mrs. Clinton campaign has excited small-dollar donors. These
small-money donors are outside her traditional concentration of big money donors
from Manhattan and California.
Mrs. Clinton has
been on a jam-packed fund-raising schedule across the country. Her aim is to explain
her agenda at higher-dollar fund-raisers and entice donations from her wealthy
donors.
The campaign’s “Hillstarters”
program is raising a lot of funds from Hillary’s wealthy supporters. It has
raised $27,000 from friends who were asked to give a maximum donation of
$2,700.
Hillary has raised far more money than she did last time she
ran in a Democratic primary. Her fund-raising efforts will not go in vain. It
is projected that she will raise more funds than her Democratic and Republican rivals.
Unlike 2007, her competition among the Democratic candidates for campaign
funding is not substantial.
