California Senator Kamala Harris is defending her home turf in the race for presidential campaign contributions leading up to the 2020 election.

Campaign finance reports filed this week show Harris raised more than $4.3 million from California donors in the first quarter of 2019, more than four times the amount of any other Democratic primary presidential candidate.

The graphic above shows the early fundraising leaders in the Golden State.

Small Donors (under $200)

Among small donors who have contributed less than $200, it's a different story. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders received the most small donations from Californians in the first quarter of the year, followed by Harris and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.


Where Each Candidate Has Raised the Most Cash

California has long been a piggy bank for presidential hopefuls, and the current Democratic field is relying on donations from familiar places. Harris, Warren, Beto O'Rourke, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and New York Senator Kirstin Gillibrand have all received the most contributions from ZIP codes in the Bay Area. For Sanders and Pete Buttigieg, the South Bend, Indiana mayor, the leading source of funds was in Los Angeles.
