Financial support for Senator John Ensign has shifted significantly in the days since he admitted to having an affair with a campaign staffer.

An analysis by News 3 shows his financial support has shifted out of Nevada and to the west.

Between January 1, 2009 and June 16, 2009 - the day Ensign made his affair public - he raised $289,000 from individual donors. The single largest contributor was the state of Nevada, with about one-third (33 percent) of Ensign's support.

Wealthier states like California, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut also sent a lot of money his way.

Between June 16, 2009 and the end of September, total donations from individuals fell to $35,000. Most of those wealthy east coast states dried up for Ensign.

Now, California leads the dollar count; after the affair, Nevada donors amounted to only 27 percent of the support.

After looking at records from the Federal Election Commission, News 3 has discovered that about one-third of the contributions donated to Senator Ensign since he announced his affair came from individuals all connected to one firm: Novogradac and Company.

They are a nationwide public accounting and consulting firm. Last year, Ensign spoke at a conference sponsored by Novogradac about how companies can make money by financing renewable energy projects.

One name of note on Ensign's post-affair donor list was Treasure Island owner Phil Ruffin. He donated $4,800 to Ensign's war chest.
