The donors to American politicians in all 50 states are concentrated in a few ZIP codes. According to Open Secrets, of the ZIP codes that delivered the most campaign funding for the Democrats in 2020, not counting dark money or soft money for liberal groups, four of the top five were in New York City (10024, 10023, 10022, 10011), followed by Chevy Chase, Maryland (20815), a suburb of Washington, D.C. Other top Democratic ZIPs this year were Silicon Valley (94301 and 94022) and Cambridge, Massachusetts (02138). New York City was also overrepresented among donors to the Republican Party, whose donor base is more geographically diverse, with a lot of money coming from Dallas, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Palm Beach, Florida.

New York? Washington DC? Maryland? Massachusetts?

Some people mock me when I say the people living in the "Acela corridor" are who controls the nation.

And yes of course, Silicon Valley is rich enough to be a major player in the game now.

BroJoeK, are you figuring it out yet? SoCal Pubbie, are you getting a clue as to how the real world works yet?

The Acela control of America and the world in the mid 1960’s to the 1970’s was incredible.

Hollywood/La, Houston,Dallas, SF, Portland/Seattle and Chicago were like local regional managers for the true Acela elites.
