    With the exception of a few small donor only. It's the same for Republicans, four hours a day calling and begging for money. Party committees (DCCC, NRCC, etc.) rank members based on how much money they raise, not on legislative output.

    9:00–10:00 Breakfast
    10:00–12:00 Call Time (Fundraising)
    12:00–1:00 Lunch
    1:00–2:00 Strategic Outreach
    2:00–4:00 Call Time
    4:00–6:00 Constituent Visits or Committee Work

    If you are new to this there are a half dozen documentaries, earliest one I can think of.

    60 Minutes "Washington's Open Secret: Fundraising"
    Aired in 2012.

    "Former U.S. Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) explained how members of Congress are expected to spend hours daily at party call centers to raise money, often more time than spent on actual legislative work.

    He left the Republican Party and became an Independent in part because of this."

    Would not be surprised if you had hundreds of bumper stickers, holding your car together. I could use them to make no parking signs into no king.
