A quick look at the list of top political donors for 2014 reveals a striking fact: At least a third of the most generous 50 mega-givers were Jewish. In fact, contributions from Jewish billionaires and multi-millionaires dominated the top 10 spots on the list.

Political activists have known for years that members of the Jewish community are over-represented in the field of political contributions.<\/p>\n

And now, with the 2016 election cycle beginning to warm up, these Jewish donors are on the minds of all prospective candidates.
