Democratic candidates donations to charity

This is not impressive. They should do more. My own donations are around Warren’s percentage and I make much less than these folks.

Here's how much of their income 2020 Dems gave to charity in 2017:

Beto – 0.31% (no, that's not a typo)
Harris – 1.4%
Gillibrand – 1.7%
Klobuchar – 1.9%
Sanders – 3.4%
Inslee – 4%
Warren – 5.5%

Why does it not surprise me that Warren leads the pack? https://t.co/UVw0QEEqEU
