Yeah, doesn’t nearly rise to the eyebrow-raising level of the average Santos story, and surely wouldn’t stand out if one went digging into dining and catering budgets of other campaigns. The 26K was spent over 32 separate occasions. Alright well sure 26K buys a lot of rigatoni bolognese, but within realm of typical political campaign catering expenses — fundraisers, wine-and-dines with donors and endorsers, lunch meetings with staff, consultants, etc — it doesn’t buy much at all. It buys a little more if you do a lot of it at the same place, and if you’re running in New York, it’s probably wise to pick a New York family owned Italian restaurant, rather than a Chicago family owned Italian restaurant. 🤷
