Sanders outpaces other 2020 Dems in Latino fundraising support



(snip)

Between January and July, Sanders brought in an estimated $4.7 million from Latinos through the online fundraising platform ActBlue, an amount that makes up 16 percent of his overall fundraising during that period on the site, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission data using census data on Latino surnames appearing 100 times or more.

The report, conducted by Juan Proaño and Plus Three, analyzed 4.7 million contributions totaling $131.2 million during the first two quarters of the year. Proaño and Plus Three, a Latino-owned technology and fundraising firm that consults nonprofits and political organizations, produced the analysis independently of any presidential campaign.

In an interview with POLITICO last month, Sanders said Latino voters were “enormously important” to his pathway to the nomination.

“We are seeing the Latino population growing very significantly,” he said. “We’re seeing young people getting involved in the political process in a very important way. The challenge that we face is that, historically, voter turnout in the Latino community is not very high. So we are doing everything we can in a variety of ways to organize.”
