Sum of money, mostly from women. Only 17 of the funds were from small grassroots donors. 76 of Bernie Sanders donors were those grassroots folks. Fewer than 100,000 of the 2. 5 million addresses on her list. On her list were still active. Two things look good for her in terms of funding . Margaret she is in a really strong position when it comes to classic core fundraising. There are two kind of unproven territories. One is how she is going to play in the super pac world. Especially compared to jeb bush. The other is on the small donor front. We see she is really good in terms of women fundraising. Small donors, you could even argue will be more important. Mark she needs to prove she can excite the grassroots the way sanders is. I think the super pac thing is the one that may be harder to solve because wealthy democrats dont feel threatened by this republican field and they dont believe in soft money. I think her numbers are perfectly good. She has raised a lot of hard money. She is going to have to figure out how to do the other two ends of the barbell. Another way to slice and dice the numbers is geographically. On the republican side, we looked very hard at the dollars raised by some of their leading candidates and found that ted cruzs money came from all across the country for a total of 14. 3 million. Thats a lot more than a lot of people thought. Jeb bush takes in 11. 4 million. A lot of his was concentrated in florida and the northeast. Marco rubio has a very healthy presence in florida and does well here in the northeast. Scattered support elsewhere, although he took in less than both bush and cruz. Margaret the ted cruz numbers are fascinating. It says he has staying power into the primary season. It is a problem for bush. It validates what the concern is. Mark bush is a relationship candidate. His problem is that for a lot of people elsewhere in the country, he is a bush. Hes either too establishment or too boring. Of a hispanic pocket across the encies of support. Mark its a very dataoriented campaign. If huckabee, santorum, perry if cruz can become the grassroots donor winner, that would be huge. His fundraising is the story of this quarter. Is there anybody else out there who you think could have a stronger Third Quarter . Margaret rand paul. Whether or not that materializes, we will have to think about that going forward. Mark another way to slice and dice the fundraising disclosures is simply by what is interesting. We will now reveal our top three most Interesting Campaign expenditures in the federal Election Commission filings. Special thanks to our colleagues for getting these things out. Lets run them down. Number three, jeb bushs campaign spent 1396 on uber rides. Ted cruz spent money on 1800flowers. Com. The number one most interesting thing we found in all the Financial Disclosure expenditure reports filed with the fec is Donald Trumps campaign spent 458 at mcdonalds. He raised about 92,000 from individual donors. He spent 63,000 or so on his own offices and hotels. Margaret i love that hes spent so much of the money on his own hotels and stuff. I love flowers and cuber but i am a cheap date. Mark he said he doesnt need to spend money in advertising because he is getting so much news coverage. George h. W. Bush is in a hospital in maine where a Spokesman Says he is stable and in fair condition. We wish him a speedy recovery. Coming up, we will start to introduce you to some of the members of team hillary in this building after this. Mark welcome back to brooklyn. We are here at Hillary Clintons headquarters. We will now talk to two of her senior advisers about the campaign and the headquarters. Joining us now, amanda and marlon. Not everybody who is watching knows you have a big title, but political director is a huge thing. Tell us a little bit about your political background. Amanda i grew up in a small town. I ended up becoming the first person to see Hillary Clinton in the senate. I love the idea of a female president. This is the first president ial campaign i have worked on. Margaret so marlon, you worked for the president obama campaign. Yes. We wanted to make sure we were always fighting for education. I got involved in campaigns, got a chance to work for the secretary during her first run. Mark what is director of states . Marlon i have a support role. My job is to make sure people get what they need to run distinct state programs. We are building a volunteer infrastructure in iowa. We want to make sure we are successful in the primary. Mark one of the reasons we are excited to be here is because this headquarters hasnt been opened to the press very much but we were able to walk around all day. Everybody seems to be in a good mood. Even though it is a Young Campaign and a lot of people are just working for the first time, the spirit seems pretty good. I wonder how you would characterize the ethos of this particular campaign . Amanda its interesting and creative. We are trying to push the envelope. I think what you see is really a creative energy. We are also working for a candidate who has worked for a long time on fighting the issues that a lot of folks here have cared about. You can feel that in the fight every day when people wake up. What do we do differently . How do we make it work . Across the different organizations, we all work together, thats fun. Marlon we are very deliberate about culture. That comes from hillary, making sure we have a good time and that we are all working together. You can feel it as you walk around. Mark there is a crazy emphasis on health food here. [laughter] amanda its because we have pizza so much that seeing the healthy stuff makes you feel like you are learning something even if you arent eating it. Marlon you walk around and see bananas but if you walk into my office you dont see that. Amanda i saw jalapeno chips in your office. Mark there are a ton of people here working on their first campaign. What is the thing you tell people about how to do this for the people who have never done this before . Marlon just being realistic about what you are getting into and make sure you are doing it for the right reasons. You have to dig into why someone would want to work here, what values do they have, do those values match the values of the campaign and the candidate. Everyone here feels that way. They always remind themselves of their own personal story because that is the only thing that will keep you going every day. I call or text my mom every other day to tell her whats going on. Shes the one that keeps me going. Mark you are not going to impress a lot of moms by saying that you text yours every other day. Whats one political rule you tell the younger people here . Amanda i say dont forget the wire here. And remember on this roller coaster, on the one hand, we are doing something really big for our country. On the other hand, dont forget to enjoy the moment every single day. After the campaign is over, a lot of people forget. There are moments on the campaign trail that will change peoples lives forever. Remember the seriousness of what we are doing and also look around and breathe in. Marlon i met my wife on the campaign in 2004 of john kerry. Be in the moment. Margaret talking about family and texting your mom, i am curious to know a little bit more about your father and his role in terms of helping you in the way that you think about the campaigns. Your father did immigrate from mexico in the 1960s. Im wondering if immigration which has become a big issue in this campaign what impact do you think some of trumps remarks have had so far . Amanda the impact on my life in general when you come from parents my dad was from mexico and my mom was from california but they both worked in the field. When you realize that somebody worked so hard for you to have an opportunity in life, it is at your core. For me to be as blessed as i have been, its never lost on me that there is some kid, whether its my dad wanting to make a better life for somebody else, or how to make my parents proud growing up. When you hear Something Like what trump said, it really gets at the core of what i believe this country is great for and why i am working on this campaign. What i said about it is that it used to be an honor to be a National Political director because we are trying to build a country that is welcoming for everyone. It has become more of a responsibility for me. I want everyone to feel like our campaign, the Democratic Party we are here and we welcome you and we give you honor and want you to succeed in life. My dad taught all of us girls how to punch. You can imagine. We are ready to fight. I think its a little bit hurtful. I think my dad probably views it from our perspective and how we feel about growing up mexican. It has been interesting to see the reaction. I think they understand what i am doing and why it is important. Mark senator sanders is doing pretty well. Can he beat Hillary Clinton in either iowa, new hampshire, or both . Marlon i think we have the staff out there. They are building a fantastic organization. I think we are going to be successful in iowa and new hampshire. I think we are going to be successful and win the primary campaign. Mark as you go around the country, you will see democrats and republicans, people like this who care about their candidates and their country and are working really hard. Thank you both so much. Well be right back with another look around this headquarters right after this. Mark welcome back to the brooklyn, usa headquarters of Hillary Clintons campaign. We want to show you a little bit more now and introduce you to some additional citizens of hillaryland. Our volunteers really worked hard to make this space look like a Real Campaign setting. On any given day, there are probably 20 or 30 people. Everybody has taken the bus to or from d. C. Mark there are some relatively senior officials here. Do have to provide proof you have ridden the bus . Its a badge of honor to have your name up there. I have not taken the bus yet to d. C. But i am sure it will be up there. Mark charlie baker, senior official. They have all ridden the bus. Very impressive. What does your department do . We are in charge of political engagement. On the hill, talking to governors, local elected officials, also working with our ally groups and coalition groups. Coming together with what our program is going to look like. Mark tell us what you do here. I coordinate with people who are prominent figures for elected officials to do some outreach for us. All of our Conference Rooms are named after early states. South carolina, over here is tech. I will show you guys the kitchen. Mark the clinton kitchen. You may have read about the infamous brown refrigerator. Mark what is the story behind it . It has been used before. We are saving money in every way, shape, or form. Mark did you inherit that . Im not actually sure. Mark the point is, its old. No one would choose that. Donate it. Its a freebie. What is this . Im not entirely sure. It looks like maybe it makes sandwiches. Mark how long do you work in a day . This morning i got in at around 6 00. It was just me. I was the first one here today. Mark are you just raring to go and cant sleep or do you like to start early . There is a lot of stuff to do and i do like to start early. Mark how late do you work . I try to leave around 7 00 or 8 00. Mark what are you teaching the younger people about how politics work . I think it is a rollover so they are teaching me, just like the digital team. They are all in their early 20s. I just turned 35 about a week ago. Its a learning process. Social media is my area of focus. Facebook, twitter, instagram linkedin. We are always expanding, writing content with new ideas to get people involved. If you look right there, i uploaded that to instagram as a precursor to a website i made with ideas that i had for the digital team whether it was social media or things they can do to raise money and get people involved. I sent that through twitter to a recruiter here. Right away, he connected me with the digital team. About a week later, i was packing my bags to come to brooklyn. Mark why berries . I thought it was a beautiful way to make the logo. It was right before memorial day. My mom was making some pies. And i was like, before you make those, can i arrange them in the h logo outside . Before i even sent it, some people shared it. I think we are all here to work hard, have fun. This office is the most collaborative and most open to an idea from anywhere ive ever worked. Its like a family. I am away from my husband, but to me, it is driving me to get Hillary Clinton elected. She would be the most amazing president. Mark brooklyn today, where will we be tomorrow . Find out. Mark tomorrow, we go from brooklyn to the brooklyn in the midwest in iowa. In Bernie Sanders will be our guest and i will be joined by Jennifer Jacobs of the des moines register.
