The biggest single donor on the Republican side is the Republican Governors Association, which has contributed more than $7 million to the Ciattarelli campaign through the Restore New Jersey super political action committee. The Operating Engineers Local 825 and the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Union of New Jersey have also been major contributors to the association.

Other sources of income

The Sherrill campaign has received about $1.16 million from small donors, with contributions of $200 or less as of Oct. 24, while the Ciattarelli campaign has collected about $594,000 from individual small donors.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the vast majority of Ciattarelli’s campaign donations, about 80%, are from individuals in New Jersey. Sherrill has received about 56% of her campaign contributions from in-state donors, and the rest has come from out-of-state donors, the Inquirer wrote.

Sherrill has a small overall fundraising advantage over Ciattarelli in the Garden State, but she has raised more than twice as much money from donors who live outside of New Jersey, $2.7 million compared to $1.1 million for her opponent, according to the Inquirer’s analysis.
