Which Democratic Presidential candidates are Houstonians donating to?

HOUSTON — When it comes to political campaigns, money doesn’t always equal victory. 

But it usually does, so let’s talk about which Democrats are getting the love from Texans and from Houstonians.

Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren have the highest number of donors in Texas, according to Federal Elections Commission data.

Number of individual donors in Texas:

1. O’Rourke: 16,786
2. Sanders: 5,393
3. Warren: 3,544

However, having more individual donors, doesn’t necessarily add up to the most donations, especially if a lot of people give small amounts.
