Almost all expenses for campaigns come from the DNC or RNC. Depending on who is in office. Most Presidents do something called "Piggy Backing" The will add a campaign trip into an official trip. That way the campaign pays less. For instance. President flies to Seattle to do an official trip like a town hall, then flies to California for a fundraiser. The DNC will pay for the fuel, and cost of the Airforce One staff for the shorter distance. The only thing that is covered with tax payer money is the protection from the Secret Service. They are salaried, he is always the President and its their job to protect him. Campaigning or not. So no. your tax money does not pay for campaigning.
