Woburn's Top Political Donors — and Which Candidates They Support

Friday we carried an article on the Federal Election Commission’s online guide to see who has given what amount to each presidential nominee.

Thus far in the 2012 campaign cycle, Woburn residents have made 326 contributions to the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, the Democratic and Republican Party nominees. 

A total of 281 contributions from Woburn were made to the Obama campaign, while 45 contributions were made to the Romney campaign.

But who gave what? Where did Woburn's top donors put their money?

According to the list, the top single Woburn donation went to Mitt Romney at $2,500. But Obama scored several donations to total $4,842.50 from a single resident. The president also received a $2,000 donation in February.
