Sen Sanders Out-Raises Clinton in Silicon Valley

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is seeing a surge of financial support from companies in Silicon Valley and is now out-raising presidential rival Hillary Clinton at the largest tech firms there, a boost that likely helped the Vermont senator’s fundraising outpace Clinton’s in January. In the last three months of 2015, Sen Sanders drew nearly $105,000 from employees at the five largest technology companies in Silicon Valley. That was about four times the amount he raised from those firms in the first quarter of his campaign, and almost $10,000 more than Clinton raised over the same period from employees at the same firms, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.

The former secretary of state’s fundraising among Silicon Valley firms, meanwhile, has stayed steady over the course of the year, suggesting that Mr. Sanders is turning out donors there who were not previously making political contributions.
