Over at VPAP, they’ve got tons of detail about where 2020 Democratic presidential candidates are raising their money in Virginia. Here are the maps for the leading contenders, and a few top lines.
- To compare with the Democrats, note that Trump has raised $1,570,007 from Virginia so far [note: as a commenter correctly points out, Trump’s been raising money for his reelection basically since his inauguration, so he has a HUGE head start], including around half from Northern Virginia (inside and outside the Beltway), $161k from the Capital Region and $145k from South Hampton Roads.
- Northern Virginia dominates in terms of donations to 2020 Democratic presidential contenders.
- For instance, Joe Biden has received a total of $279,797 from Virginia so far, of which $127k comes from “Inside the Beltway” and $84k from “Northern Virginia” outside the Beltway. In stark contrast, Biden raised only $2,813 from the entire Shenandoah region, and just $2,800 from Southside Virginia.
- Bernie Sanders has raised $171,407 from Virginia so far, of which $61k is from Northern Virginia outside the Beltway and $33k from “Inside the Beltway.” Sanders also raised $16k from the “Capital Region” and $15k from “South Hampton Roads.”
- Elizabeth Warren has raised $179,753 from Virginia so far, of which $58k is from Northern Virginia outside the Beltway, $56k is from “Inside the Beltway,” and $22k from the Piedmont region.
- Kamala Harris has raised $179,842 from Virginia so far, including $89k from “Inside the Beltway,” $57k from Northern Virginia outside the Beltway, $10k from the Capital Region and $10k from the Piedmont region.
- Pete Buttigieg has raised $483,180 from Virginia so far, including a whopping $236k from “Inside the Beltway” and $121k from Northern Virginia outside the Beltway. Add in $61k from the Piedmont region (a good chunk of which comes from the Charlottesville area), $19k from South Hampton Roads, $16k from the Capital Region, and (surprisingly) $11k from the Coalfields/Southwest Virginia, and that’s most of Buttigieg’s Virginia money.
- Cory Booker has raised a relatively small amount — just $85,151 — from Virginia so far, and it almost all comes from Inside the Beltway ($42k) and Northern Virginia outside the Beltway ($34k).
- Andrew Yang has raised just $35,665 from Virginia so far, most of which has come from Northern Virginia.
- Beto O’Rourke has raised $102,588 from Virginia so far, including $45k from Northern Virginia outside the Beltway, $22k from Inside the Beltway, $21k from the Piedmont region, and $7k from South Hampton Roads.
- Amy Klobuchar has raised $90,374 from Virginia so far, including $41k from Inside the Beltway, $28k from Northern Virginia outside the Beltway, $7k from South Hampton Roads and $6k from the Piedmont region.
