Brooklyn Rep. Yvette Clarke is a pretty big spender when it comes to her donors. Unfortunately, they didn't donate enough for her to spend! The congresswoman is allegedly $28,200 in debt after treating her donors to see "Fela" and Jay-Z, which cost her nearly $10,000. Her campaign was also fined $16,275 for 217 illegally placed posters. Clarke has raised just $54,000 in the first quarter of the year. Alternately . Rep. Carolyn Maloney has over $2 million in her reserves. But did her donors get to bask in the majesty that is the HOV? We think not.
