Summary
California, also called the Golden state as a popular name, is where Hillary Clinton has no less than 71 fund-raisers. A CNN analysis based on ticket prices and attendance figures shows that she raises over $100 million in 2015 and 2016 as a candidate. You can understand from this, California is the most profitable state. Although she holds more fund-raisers in New York, events held in New York earn just over $81 million based on the same calculation. It is because she has spent more time than recent candidates to headline events. In September, her campaign raised a record $154 million, exceeding the record set by Barack Obama’s campaign in August 2008.

One is to oblige a politician to make a funding source and a way of use clear.
