Which GOP Candidates Are Receiving Donations From Mendham, Chester?

MENDHAM, N.J. – The run for the White House has dominated storylines just about every day for the past few months, as candidates square off against each other in debates and on the campaign trail.

In order to do so, however, most candidates need funding from donors across the country. Thanks to the Federal Election Commission, the general public can see which candidates are receiving the most donations and where they’re coming from.

On the Republican side, while there are five candidates still trying to earn enough delegates to win the Primary Election, just three – Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio – have had strong enough showings to stay ahead of the pack.

According to the FEC, residents in the Mendhams and Chesters clearly prefer one of those candidates over any other. The breakdown is:

Donald Trump:
Mendham: $1,267
Chester: $0

Marco Rubio:
Mendham: $1,509
Chester: $375

Ted Cruz:
Mendham: $5,340
Chester: $2,355

Overall New Jersey has donated some $9.87M to candidates since the start of the campaign, with Chris Christie receiving the most in the Republican party, having totaled $3,631,255 prior to suspending his campaign earlier in February.

Hillary Clinton led all Democrats with $2,698,782.
