Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX) in recent years has spent more than $33,000 in campaign money on orders from Honey Baked Foods and Godiva Chocolatier, BuzzFeed reported on Friday.
Campaign finance records show Hall’s campaign spent more than $14,000 on Honey Baked Foods orders around the holidays in 2012 and 2013, and spent an additional $19,000 on Godiva in December 2013.
“These are gifts that the congressman has been giving out for years to constituents,” Ed Valentine, a Hall campaign adviser, told BuzzFeed. “They’re Christmas gifts. They’re birthday gifts. That’s how Ralph works. He likes Christmas.”
Dang, Godiva chocolates? He REALLY likes his constituents!
Those are some pretty expensive votes he’s buying.
Insert Ham joke here. Go ahead. You know you want to.
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.
