WASHINGTON - Rep. Devin Nunes' big role in the unfolding drama between Justice Department and the Trump administration has drawn national headlines - and allowed him to collect big money from D.C. area donors.
But the California Republican is also being dogged by accusations he's no longer focused on his constituents.
Through the end of March, the Fresno-area Republican has raised far more from D.C. and its neighboring states than he has from his own district, an analysis of campaign finance data finds.
Of the more than $1 million Nunes raised from individual donors, roughly $19,000, or 2 percent, came from people in his district, which includes chunks of Fresno and Tulare counties. That's the smallest percentage of any the eight California Republicans in Congress who Democrats are targeting for defeat this fall.
A third of Nunes' individual donations came from out-of-state, including more than $100,000 from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
In addition, Nunes has raised more than $1 million from corporate PACs and other political committees, which are primarily based in Washington and its suburbs.
