Turner, a former state senator and Cleveland City Council member, has developed a national profile as a leading Bernie Sanders supporter, and the campaign has pulled in donations from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with California as the top contributing state, followed by Ohio.
According to the campaign, Turner also has received contributions from every ZIP code in the 11th Congressional District, which reaches from Cleveland to Akron.
Brown, a county council member and chair of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, has collected endorsements from many local elected Democrats and construction labor unions. More than half of her contributions have come from Northeast Ohio, according to the campaign. https://www.ideastream.org/news/nina-turner-raises-22-million-for-congressional-campaign
