Clinton, Giuliani Raise Most From Oklahomans
Hillary Clinton, riding the wave of an August Tulsa fundraiser, is now the presidential candidate with the most money raised in Oklahoma this year. With $135,764 raised in the third quarter, she boosted her annual total to $434,704, topping John Edwards by more than $53,000.
The previous leader in Oklahoma, Senator Barack Obama, dropped to third with $370,279 and raised just $18,764 in the quarter.
Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is the top Republican, at $329,345, but had the best third quarter of any candidate. With fundraisers in Tulsa and Ada in the period, Giuliani raised $163,850.
Edwards raised $114,251 in the quarter.
The Tulsa World reports that Democratic presidential candidates raised about $970,000 for the entire 2004 election cycle. All added, Oklahomans have contributed nearly $2 million for various presidential campaigns with the 2008 general election still more than a year away. Tulsans have given the lion's share, $673,003, with nearly one-third of that coming from a single midtown ZIP code -- 74114, the area that includes Philbrook Museum of Art and Utica Square. Contributors from that ZIP code have given $217,848, more than twice the next-highest total, Oklahoma City's 73116.
More than 70 percent of Tulsa contributions -- $476,246 -- went to Democratic candidates during the first nine months of 2007. Candidates reported $526,605 from Oklahoma City contributors, with more than 60 percent to Democrats.
Clinton's third-quarter donors included: George R. Kravis II, Tulsa businessman, $2,300; William E. Lobeck, Tulsa businessman and husband of Mayor Kathy Taylor, $2,300; state Rep. Jeannie McDaniel, Tulsa, $1,000; Aubrey McClendon, Chesapeake Energy CEO, $2,300; Oklahoma Secretary of State and former Tulsa Mayor Susan Savage, $500; former Oklahoma Attorney General Larry Derryberry, $1,000.
Giuliani's third-quarter donors included: Oklahoma State University Athletic Director Mike Holder and his wife, Robbie, $2,300 each; Gary Sparks, Jenks architect, $4,600; Peter Walter, Tulsa Realtor, $2,300; Dewey Bartlett Jr., former Tulsa city councilor and oilman, $1,000; Stanley Lybarger, BOK Financial president, $500; Jay Helm, Tulsa real estate developer, $2,300; and John Brock, Tulsa oilman, $2,300.
