A study published Thursday by Plus 3 shows that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has received over four times the amount of campaign contributions from the Latino community than any other Democratic presidential candidate.
Specifically, The Hill reports that Sanders has received over $ 8.2M from Latinos, which is $ 6M more than the $ 2M earned by his closest competitors, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. All numbers were taken as of the last Federal Election Commission filing deadline of December 31, 2019.
Interestingly, the study found that Latino campaign contributions declined by 25 percent around the middle of 2019.
“Overall, $ 6.5 million dollars and 315,000 Latino contributions have in effect disappeared as the field of candidates has narrowed from 23 candidates to 5 leading candidates,” the study reads.
