Her future:
As a double-secret-probation junior congrissgurl cadet, she's given a set budget to cover all of her expenses, and, after she's done paying all of her staff their "$15/hr min fair share" she'll barely have enough left to buy a stapler for her office in a broom closet.

It's about a given that hyphen-teeth thinks The Capitol is a big cookie jar she can just reach into and pull out whatever she needs, but that notion is going to get slapped out of her empty head very fast, and very hard.
Additional Information for House Offices
- There is a single account, the Members’ Representational Allowance, from which all expenses are paid.
- All Members do not have the same MRA (determined by distance from DC, cost of district office space, and number of district postal drops).
- The Committee on House Administration does the calculations and will inform you of your MRA. Recently, MRAs ranged from $1.25 million to $1.43 million (Puerto Rico is higher), with an average of $1.315 million.
