Ethics gripe

I received a Christmas card from someone I know whose spouse is a state politician. It looks like a typical Shutterfly-type card printed on card stock, photos of the family, well wishes statement, etc. At the bottom of the card in the tiniest font ever it reads, "Paid for by The X for Elected Office Campaign". It just strikes me as unethical to take campaign funds to pay for your Christmas cards, professional photographer, for a photo that has nothing to do with running for office. Bah Humbug!
