Only 5 West Virginians contributed to Joe Manchin, according to campaign filing
[FREEBEACON] West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin (D.) has collected over $550,000 for his reelection campaign this year but only $7,900 of it came from donors inside the state, his latest campaign filing shows.
Manchin, whose Senate seat is up for grabs in 2018, reported just five donors with West Virginia addresses on his April quarterly report to the Federal Election Commission, which covers the period from January 1 through March 31.
The largest contributions came from what appears to be a single family in Glenville, West Virginia. Three executives for Waco Oil and Gas--I.L. Morris, Douglas Morris, and Ian Morris--combined to give $6,400 to Manchin on March 31.
Manchin received an additional $1,000 from an executive in Charleston, and $500 from a retired woman in Huntington.
Manchin raked in far more from donors out of his state, such as $95,600 from Texas and $32,300 from New York.
