Unsourced "Personal Life" Information

I couldn't find any great sources for the unsourced information in the "Personal Life" section of her article.

(That would be the following text: "Kerns, a registered Democrat, supported John Kerry in the 2004 United States presidential election and Hillary Clinton in the 2016 United States presidential election.")

I found a political donations page that showed that she donated to John Kerry's presidential campaign in 2004. She donated to Hillary Clinton's primary campaign in 2007, as well as President Barack Obama's campaigns in 2008 and 2012. Then she donated to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

Here is the website, for reference. I do not think a campaign contribution website would be a valid or appropriate source, though, because those kinds of sites don't seem like more ideal secondary sources (and preferably, I'd find an article or other secondary source where she explicitly discussed endorsing them, just like there is an article about her explicit support of Planned Parenthood), which is why I'm dropping the question here first. Should I add these citations, or should that information be removed?
