Based on observation of people like Beto running in Tx knowing there is no way they will win, I believe it is more about the money raised than the money spent. They run and get rich. Doesn't matter if they have even the remote chance of winning.
In my town it would have probably not even been wooden barriers. A line of orange road construction cones most likely would have been used.

don't necessarily disagree, never heard of it until today but apparently it's a thing someplace
Milwaukee prosecutors are conducting an internal review into their own office’s decision to make an "inappropriately low" bail recommendation for Darrell Brooks Jr., the man suspected of plowing an SUV through a crowd in nearby Waukesha during a Christmas parade.
The horror left at least five people dead and 48 injured – including 18 children rushed to Children's Wisconsin hospital in Milwaukee. Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson said during an afternoon news conference that prosecutors plan to bring five counts of first-degree intentional homicide and additional charges.
Brooks has multiple pending cases in Milwaukee County – including a 2020 case involving two counts of second-degree recklessly endangering and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to a spokesperson for Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm. Bail was originally set at $10,000 and later reduced to $7,500, the district attorney’s office said.
But due to a court scheduling conflict that would have deprived Brooks of his right to a speedy trial his bail was again reduced, this time to just $500, which he posted on Feb. 21, 2021, according to prosecutors.
Earlier this month, Milwaukee authorities charged Brooks with another reckless endangering out, felony bail jumping, battery, obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct. He allegedly ran a woman over with what may have been the same SUV that wreaked havoc on the Christmas parade. He was released on $1,000 cash bail on Nov. 11.
"The State’s bail recommendation in this case was inappropriately low in light of the nature of the recent charges and the pending charges against Mr. Brooks," Chisholm’s office said Monday. "The bail recommendation in this case is not consistent with the approach of the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office toward matters involving violent crime, nor was it consistent with the risk assessment of the defendant prior to setting of bail."

The monarchs are back again in force to winter along the California coast. After a dismal showing the past three years, scientists and naturalists weren’t sure they were ever coming back.
"That's what everybody was so worried about last year when our overall population dipped to under two thousand," said Stephanie Turcotte Edenholm, an official observer.
"It’s over 30 years that they've been counting and keeping track of the populations. The fact that it dipped so low, and it dipped so low for the last three years, there was a great concern," said Turcotte Edenholm.
"Last year it was under 2,000 and this year they're already estimating that we have 50,000," she was relieved to report.
