LIST WHITE HOUSE GUESTS / CONTRIBUTIONS

WASHINGTON, DC, Sept 22, 2000 – Preliminary analysis of the guest list released Friday by the White House indicates that some 98 of the 361 guests who stayed either at the White House or Camp David contributed to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign. Those guests gave a combined $108,000 directly to the Hillary Clinton Senate Committee, and an additional $516,000 to one of the several affiliated committees operating on her behalf.

About 40% of the guests – some 146 in all – have been active contributors this election cycle. They gave a combined $5.5 million in campaign contributions, of which 98% went to the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates. Some $122,000 went to Republicans.

The biggest single recipient was the Democratic National Committee, which got $2.5 million from the guests. Democratic Party committees as a whole got $4.5 million. Al Gore’s campaign collected $142,750 from the guests.

The data was analyzed by the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, based on computerized records from the Federal Election Commission as well as non-computerized records filed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

The 1996 data is also still available.
