Sucks to be her, then. She should be doing more to secure funding. That's a critically important part of American electoral politics. Most large organizations are willing to donate money to candidates supporting good community policy even if only for the virtue signal.

Progressives have this as policy, they avoid any Corp PAC money due to their corrupting influences on policy making, they feel only the people should have any influence on politicians and how the country is ultimately governed for the greater good 

Most other Western Governments have very strong rules controlling the influence of big money in politics, the US is quite unique in this regard as it allows lobbing at all levels to influence politicians  

Powerful individuals/Corps/Orgs (e.g. Gun Lobby) do have an incredibly long lasting and corrupting influence in US society
