WaPo: Bernie Sanders' Campaign Has Spent Nearly $166M
Posted in: Uncategorized
A new Washington Post story by Matea Gold and Anu Narayanswamy calculates that Senator Bernie Sanders’ campaign had, by the end of March, spent nearly $166 million on his presidential bid. The story appears on the front page of this morning’s Post with the headline “Sanders’s donor spigot a cash cow for consultants” and online with the headline “Sanders is biggest spender of 2016 so far — generating millions for consultants.”
A key passage:
By the end of March, the self-described democratic socialist senator from Vermont had spent nearly $166 million on his campaign — more than any other 2016 presidential contender, including rival Hillary Clinton. More than $91 million went to a small group of admakers and media buyers who produced a swarm of commercials and placed them on television, radio and online, according to a Washington Post analysis of Federal Election Commission reports.
