Congressman-elect Anthony Brindisi<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Utica congressman-elect makes \u2018Center for Responsive Politics\u2019 top 10 list for 2018 of members of Congress with the largest proportion of small dollar contributions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Center for Responsive Politics says Congressman-elect\nAnthony Brindisi will go to the 116th Congress with one of the highest shares\nof small, individual donations funding their campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group says Brindisi is on its top 10 list of incoming\nCongressional members who raised the largest amount of their total campaign\ncontributions from individual contributions under $200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always intended my campaign for Congress to be a grass\nroots effort, and there is no question that small, individual donations really\nmade the difference,\u201d Brindisi said. \u201cI pledged that I would not take donations\nfrom large corporate PAC\u2019s, and I think was able to demonstrate that it is\npossible to win without big-money donors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brindisi was listed as the member of Congress with the\nseventh-highest portion of total campaign funds raised from small, individual\ndonors. It said Brindisi was the only member of the new Congress on its list\nwho had a close race. Members of both parties were on the group\u2019s top 10,\nincluding long-time members like John Lewis, Devin Nunes and Steve Scalise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Center for Responsive Politics is a non-profit,\nnonpartisan organization that focuses on issues pertaining to fundraising and\nlobbying in elections and public policy. Its list of the top 10 donors was\nreleased on its website, OpenSecrets.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
