4. On your basis, no one from NJ or NY or CT could ever run for President, because too many

employees of banking or pharma sent donations (those states are centers of the banking industry and pharma).

No one from Texas could ever run because they get too many donations from employees of energy companies.

No one from Delaware could run because of donations from employees of the banking industry.

No one from Washington could run because of donations from employees at airplane related companies or Amazon.

No INDUSTRY or CORPORATION is allowed to donate to any campaign. But individuals who work at companies can. We shouldn't be penalizing candidates because they come from a state where there are a lot of employees at a particular industry -- unless we see votes that are against our principles.

Just to name one example, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez got a significant percent of donations from the banking industry -- because she represents an area where people have jobs at banks. That shouldn't be a reason she couldn't be Senator, Governor, or even President some day.
