NY, California, DC are big donor sources for Bullock’s prez campaign

HELENA — Donors from California and the New York and Washington, D.C., areas have contributed about 40 percent of the money fueling Montana Gov. Steve Bullock’s presidential campaign this year — and played a big role in financing his exploratory efforts as well.

Bullock, one of 24 Democrats running for president, officially launched his presidential bid May 14 and reported raising $2 million in campaign funds through June 30.

That amount puts him at 14th among the candidates, in money raised — but it’s much less than the front-running candidates, such as Vice President Joe Biden, who took in $22 million from April to June, and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who raised almost $25 million during the same period.
