Alex Roarty at the National Journal has a story on Kamala Harris’ campaign costs to house California’s Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate:

One stay. One hotel. $1,886.

That’s how much Kamala Har­ris’s cam­paign spent this March to put up the Cali­for­nia Sen­ate can­did­ate at Wash­ing­ton’s lux­uri­ous St. Re­gis hotel.

A re­view of the Har­ris cam­paign’s Fed­er­al Elec­tion Com­mis­sion re­ports re­veals it was far from a one-time splurge: In June, the cam­paign spent $1,500 to house Har­ris for a night at Hou­s­ton’s posh Hou­s­toni­an Hotel. In Ju­ly, it was an­oth­er night at the St. Re­gis, this time for $1,600. In Chica­go, it was the Wal­dorf As­tor­ia. In Bo­ston, the Four Sea­sons. And on four oc­ca­sions this year, Har­ris’ cam­paign paid for rooms at the pricey W Hotel in Los Angeles.

The total price tag for these first-class ac­com­mod­a­tions? Al­most $18,000.

With an election in November 2016 for U.S. Senate, Harris is burning money at an alarming rate.  and it is not just on hotels. Add luxury car services and airfare to Harris’ problems:

It’s not as if the Cali­for­nia at­tor­ney gen­er­al had money to burn, either. She’s already spent more than 40 per­cent of the $6 mil­lion she’s raised since be­com­ing a can­did­ate in Janu­ary, an alarm­ing burn rate for a can­did­ate who is also on her second cam­paign man­ager and third fin­ance dir­ect­or.

And the cam­paign’s splurges aren’t lim­ited to ho­tels. Since Har­ris an­nounced she would run for Sen­ate in Janu­ary, the cam­paign has spent nearly $20,000 on lux­ury car ser­vices and pur­chased ex­pens­ive air­fare—with some trips cost­ing nearly $2,500.

Out­lays for air­line tick­ets were sim­il­arly pricey. The cam­paign spent more than $1,000 on air­fare 13 times—an­oth­er five times, it spent more than $2,000, ac­cord­ing to FEC re­ports. On June 26, it paid Amer­ic­an Air­lines $2,471 on the same day it paid United Air­lines, Inc. $2,155. On May 8, the cam­paign spent $2,457 on tick­ets from Vir­gin Amer­ica.
