Not sure if either of those examples fit the "advertisement or fundraising" criteria as that was what you mentioned in your post..... But I think a good argument could be made that they do in a sense.

Having made that point..... The total money he has spent is probably a fraction of what others have spent.
A mere technicality.

We would probably never know how much he is spending to corral audiences but shouldn't his campaign be charged for any expenses incurred by the city of Mobile for his campaign address?

Hope someone here can help clarify.
