Here’s the Donation Amounts to the 2020 Democratic Party Given By A Variety of Musicians

It’s always interesting to find out which musicians and celebrities alike are supporting presidential candidates. But now we get a glimpse of some musicians making monetary donations in support of their favorite candidate. Musicians and many others are currently showing support for Democratic presidential candidates running in 2020. The presidential candidates have filed fundraising reports for the first three months of the 2020 campaign.

Per an article on Stereogum, Donors list their occupation and address along with their contribution. So there’s a possibility, another self-employed actress named Amanda Moore exists from Longwood, Florida, or another guitarist named Jon Bongiovi in Jersey. The list of musicians and their donation amounts are listed below, based on committee receipts on the Federal Election Commission website. Important to note, FEC rules bar individual contributors from giving more than $2,800 to a candidate per primary or general election campaign. This list is ordered by quarterly fundraising totals.

Kelly Tucker: Originally from Los Angeles, I grew up listening to all types of music. My first concert was Aerosmith with Skid Row, then moved on to concerts with Metallica, Lollapalooza, Guns N’ Roses, Soundgarden and more. One of my favorite shows of all time was when I was in college and someone took me to see the Allman Brothers play. I also scalped a ticket to see Pearl Jam and the amazing Eddie Vedder sing his heart out. My professional career started in 2000 at Nielsen Business Media where I was an assistant in a sales department and later got promoted to advertising account executive. When the recession hit in 2008 and the magazine was sold, I took a job at a call center and later got promoted to assistant to the CEO and COO of a global company. In 2017, I took a position at a pharmaceutical agency, and now currently responsible for coordinating meeting logistics for physicians and pharma reps throughout the United States. In my spare time, I work at Peace4Kids a non-profit in South Los Angeles and write screenplays in hopes to make a breakthrough.
