Cory Booker leads Dem presidential candidates in campaign contributions from Asian Americans, new analysis finds.
There are some caveats to the analysis, researcher Sono Shah noted. For one, the analysis uses census surname data among other details to estimate a donor’s race, a method used across multiple research disciplines. That means some donors who are multiracial or who have changed their names may not be picked up.more than $200 in an election cycle
, so smaller figure donors may not be included in the analysis. The analysis examined only Asian Americans, not Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders. In total, Shah found that Asian American donors made more than 4,000 contributions, totaling more than $1.7 million. About 33 percent of the donations came from California, followed by 14 percent from New York and 12 percent from New Jersey.While most candidates had most of their Asian American contributions come from California, Booker received most of his from New Jersey, the state he represents.
Gabbard and Yang had particularly large proportions of Asian contributions — 44 percent and 35 percent of their total donations respectively — Shah noted in the analysis.Follow NBC Asian American on
