Any amount received by an officeholder as a contribution to his federal campaign fund that is in excess of any amount necessary to defray his expenditures, and any other amount contributed to an officeholder for the purpose of supporting his activities as a holder of federal office must be used by such individual to defray any ordinary and necessary expenses incurred in connection with his duties as a holder of federal office as allowed under federal law or contributed to any charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 of the United States Code. No amounts may be converted by any individual to any personal use."
