Covered security measures include non-structural devices (alarms, locks, cameras), structural improvements solely for security (fencing, gates, lighting), professional security personnel, and cybersecurity software and services

All security disbursements must be at "usual and normal" commercially reasonable rates prevailing in the market

Protection extends to the candidate/officeholder, their family members, and campaign or office employees
