It could also be that my constituency is really big. I have almost 1200 delegates, so working within a constituency like that, you need a lot of resources to do that. It has not been easy; it&#8217;s been hard, it\u2019s been tough. It has drained time and resources and effort and everything,&#8221; she disclosed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2FJoyNewsOnTV%2Fvideos%2F397291969441084%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When pressed about the amount she has spent so far on the campaign, she candidly admitted, &#8220;I am broke right now.
