Facebook spouse and carpet-bagging Democrat Sean Eldridge poured another half-million dollars into his own New York congressional campaign this month.

Eldridge, the husband of Facebook co-founder and New Republic owner Chris Hughes, has now donated $1.84 million to his own campaign.

Eldridge’s donations to his own campaign now exceed the $1,819,066 it has raised from all other individual donors combined, according to the FEC, and comprise more than 47 percent of all contributions, including transfers from other committees.
