Such term also includes personal funds or other property of a candidate or members of his household expended or transferred to cover expenditures incurred in support of such candidate but does not include personal funds used to pay the candidate filing fee. Such term also includes the rendering of personal and professional services for less than full consideration, but does not include ordinary home hospitality or the rendering of “part-time” personal services of the sort commonly performed by volunteer campaign workers or advisors or incidental expenses not in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) personally paid for by any volunteer campaign worker. “Part-time” services for the purposes of this definition, means services in addition to regular full-time employment, or, in the case of an unemployed person or persons engaged in part-time employment, services rendered without compensation or reimbursement of expenses from any source other than the candidate or political committee for whom such services are rendered. For the purposes of this act, contributions, other than money or its equivalents shall be deemed to have a money value equivalent to the fair market value of the contribution. “Expenditure” includes any payment, contribution, subscription, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement, whether or not legally enforceable, to make an expenditure. The term “expenditure” also includes a promise to pay, a payment or a transfer of anything of value in exchange for goods, services, property, facilities or anything of value for the purpose of assisting, benefiting or honoring any public official or candidate, or assisting in furthering or opposing any election campaign. - iv - SECTION I TOTAL AMOUNT OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND EXPENDITURES STATEWIDE CANDIDATES STATEWIDE JUDICIAL CANDIDATES DISTRICT JUDGE CANDIDATES LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES CANDIDATES NOT ON 2006 BALLOT POLITICAL COMMITTEES UNOPPOSED CANDIDATES FOR STATEWIDE AND LEGISLATIVE OFFICE IN THE PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTIONS OF 2006 *Elected at 2006 Primary Election Candidate District Office Ben Ysursa Secretary of State Dan Eismann Supreme Court Justice Darrel R.
