Top 10 Clinton Contributors In Lower Merion

Who is behind Hillary Clinton's campaign on the local level in the Lower Merion area?

LOWER MERION, PA -- Super Tuesday is just around the corner. As the party nomination season approaches the finish line, two clear favorites have emerged on each side: Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.

Trump, a business mogul, has self-financed his campaign, although he does still receive noteworthy contributions.

But it’s nothing compared to the money put forth to the campaign of former First Lady, New York Senator, and U.S. Secretary of State Clinton.
