美國年總統大選 誰是幕後捐款者?

US federal election law requires all candidates to report each campaign donation to the Federal Election Committee (FEC). These filings offer insight into who is willing to put their Money where their vote is.

美國聯邦選舉法規定，所有候選人必須向聯邦選舉委員會報告每個選舉陣營所收到的捐款。這些法律文件可以讓我們比較直觀地瞭解到誰把錢捐到了哪裏。

Direct campaign donors are legally allowed to interact with a candidate, but their donations cannot exceed $2,700 per presidential candidate.

在法律上，允許競選直接捐贈者和候選人進行互動，但是捐贈者給每個候選人的捐款金額最多不能超過2700美元。

Hillary Clinton - Total raised $130,443,637. Though Clinton has received a significant amount from bankers, she has raised even more from lawyers.

希拉里·克林頓一共籌集了130443637美元。儘管希拉里從銀行家們那裏收到了一筆不小的捐款，但是他從律師們手中籌集的資金更多。

The Clinton campaign has taken in $11m from lawyers and law firms, including $1.33m from individuals who work at seven of the top US law firms. By contrast she has received just over $4m from the commercial banking and investment industries.

希拉里陣營目前已經從律師和律師事務所手裏獲得了1100萬美元資金，其中來自全美7所最大律師事務所的律師們爲其貢獻了133萬美元。於此相對的，她只從商業銀行和投資行業手裏得到了400萬美元多一點的支持。

Bernie Sanders - Total raised $96,311,423. Bernie Sanders has received a swell of financial support from Americans giving in small amounts.

伯尼·桑德斯一共籌集了96311423美元。桑德斯受到了大量捐贈小數額的美國選民的支持。即使他們捐款的面額很小，但也讓桑德斯獲益良多。

Nearly three-quarters of Senator Sanders' donations have been under $200. His campaign said the average donation in 2015 was $27.16. Only 17% of donations to rival Hillary Clinton are under $200.

在桑德斯收到的資金中，大約有四分之三捐款的面額小於200美元。桑德斯選舉陣營表示，2015年平均捐款的面額是27.16美元。而在希拉里收到的捐贈中，只有17%的捐款面額小於200美元。

Ted Cruz - Total raised $54,661,506. More than most, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has relied on donations from his home state. His campaign has received 43% of its donations from people in Texas. Those donations came from a wide range of industries including traditional Texas businesses like oil and gas and farming.

泰德·克魯茲一共籌集了54661506美元。德克薩斯州參議員泰德·克魯茲從他老家得到的捐款最多。在克魯茲選舉陣營目前收到捐款中，有43%來自於德克薩斯州人。這些捐款來自於一大批工業部門，包括諸如石油和農業等德克薩斯州傳統產業。

Donald Trump - Total raised $25,526,319. The first was the amount of media attention Mr Trump received early on allowing him to spread his campaign message without buying costly TV ads.

而唐納德·特朗普一共籌集了25526319美元。特朗普收到的最大支持應該是媒體們免費的宣傳。他早早地便吸引到了媒體的注意，從而不費一分一毫就把自己的競選信息廣爲傳播。

That has not stopped him from fundraising. The campaign has raised $25m, but only $7.5m is from individual donors. Health professionals and real estate professionals are the most active donors.

不過那並不能阻止他籌款的步伐。特朗普陣營目前收到了2500萬美元的捐款，但個人捐款只有750萬美元。衛生健康行業和房地產行業是特朗普最大的捐贈者。
