$244,775 v $321,629. Of course, that’s not the Globe’s headline…
Donors from Boston accounted for the most money given to Brown, with $244,775 in itemized contributions. Washington, D.C., was his second-biggest fund-raising city, with $176,141, followed by New York City, with $145,488, and Wellesley, with $124,520.
Between January and April, New York was Brown’s most lucrative source of donations.
The Globe (R-Brown) spun this headline: “Brown raises more large gifts from Mass. than Warren”
more:
“Majority control of the Senate hinges on the outcome, which is why so many national liberals are pouring so much money into our rival’s race, and it’s why I am the No. 1 target of the national Democrats,” Brown wrote in a recent fund-raising appeal. He predicted that he would be outspent and asked for “every dollar I can get to fend off out-of-state liberals.”
While Brown raised money from a variety of political action committees, some are bound to draw criticism from Warren. After voting March 29 against a bill that would have repealed $24 billion in tax breaks for the five largest oil companies operating in the United States, Brown raised thousands of dollars from political action committees connected to the oil industry, including $2,500 from Chevron, $2,000 from the American Petroleum Institute, and $1,000 each from ConocoPhillips and Halliburton.
Brown, who has been accused by Warren of protecting Wall Street interests, also raised some large donations from the financial sector, including $2,500 from Kelly Coffey, a managing director at JPMorgan Chase, and $2,500 from Stephen Berenson, vice chairman of investment banking at JPMorgan’.

It does seem as though Brown raised a good chunk of his money in MA and out-of-staters have been generous to Warren too. I think the key here is to distinguish who specifically is donating, not by zip code, but by profession and interest.
