Second, I want to tell you about my own campaign. Each year, my constituents make contributions to the election campaign. I hold a huge fundraiser to which each person contributes $65. That is how I finance my election campaign.
Recently the finance minister visited my constituency and 344 persons came to listen to his speech. That is how I finance my election campaign. And I can tell you now that my association has $100,000 in its election fund. I have no qualms about it; I say so publicly.
I finance my election campaign by collecting $65 from each of my supporters. This is the way I am accountable to my constituents. Each and every one of them made a contribution. They bought a ticket, some even bought two, to come to my fundraiser. Tickets cost $100, including $35 for the dinner and $65 for the contribution. That is how I financed my election campaign and that is how I was elected to this House.
