Sonoma Valley Residents Have Donated Over $300,000 in this Election Cycle

Sonoma Valley residents have dug into their pocketbooks this election cycle, donating over $300,000 to Congressional and national campaigns, according to a new campaign finance database put together by Huffington Post.

In Sonoma proper $152,431 was donated in the current election cycle, with 66% of those donations leaning Democratic. But, Republican supporters made larger donations: Just $57,000 of the money pool went to Democratic candidates, though the largest overall donation – a $32,500 gift from Michael Klein – went to D-Nancy Pelosi.

Boyes Hot Springs residents, however, pledged just $247 to campaigns, in 27 small-scale donations. But Glen Ellen pulled out the big bucks; residents pledged $167,883, with 97% of the donations going to Democrats.

The highest individual contribution in Glen Ellen, not surprisingly, comes from Pixar's John Lasseter, who pledged $35,800 gift to the Obama Victory Fund 2012. (His wife, Nancy Lasseter, also gave $35,800 to Obama's campaign.)
