Some local donors still support Akin campaign [View all]

Source: 41 Action news

Akin isn't from the Kansas City area, so the number of donors for the primary here is small compared to the rest of the state. Most all tell us they will give more money.
According to the FEC, up until Congressman Todd Akin's comments about rape, his campaign was at $2.2 million dollars. Of his 1,695 donations only a couple dozen came from the Kansas City metro area.
Akin's top five donors from the area are:
Mark & Susan Susz - $5,000 ($2,500 each)
James Miller - $2,000
Wayne Graves - $1,000
Thomas Hall - $1,000
Susan Phillips - $1,000
Susan Susz declined to comment when asked if she and her husband still support Akin.
