Database: How Much Did Your Neighbors Give to Obama, Romney?
Many more Whitefish Bay residents had offered financial support to President Barack Obama than GOP challenger Mitt Romney through Aug. 31, but Romney had collected more money.

In the first three months after Mitt Romney clinched the Republican nomination for president by winning the Texas primary, he raised more money from Whitefish Bay residents than President Barack Obama.
He got there with quality not quantity, however, as Obama had almost four times as many donations.
Romney — who is slightly closing in on Obama's lead in Wisconsin, according to a new Marquette University poll — picked up $20,0014 from 23 individual donations through Aug. 31. Obama had 87 donations, but a total of just $14,371.
