Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger counts more billionaires, Washington, D.C.-based donors, and out-of-state residents among her financial supporters than Republican nominee Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, public records show. 

Just 47% of donations to Spanberger’s gubernatorial campaign came from Virginia residents as of the end of September, according to public records compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project. Earle-Sears, by contrast, pulled in 53% of her contributions from Virginian donors. Contributors located in D.C. donated nearly as much to Spanberger as those living in the commonwealth, where she is running for governor, with D.C.-based donors donating about $12.2 million to the Democratic hopeful, compared to $18.7 million from Virginians.
