Donald Trump Jr. to appear at Cleveland fundraiser with Brook Park Mayor Tom Coyne later this month
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Donald Trump Jr. is slated to appear as a featured guest at a Cleveland fundraiser later this month alongside Brook Park Mayor Tom Coyne.
The event is scheduled for Oct. 27 at Crop Bistro in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood. An event fundraiser offers entry to a "VIP photo reception" -- presumably, a photo with Trump Jr. -- for $3,500 a person, or $5,000 for a couple. Tickets for lower levels of access run between $250 and $2,500.
While the event is honoring Coyne, the proceeds will go to the "Fund for Local Leadership." Cuyahoga County Republican Party Chair Rob Frost, who is also one of the event's chairs, said in a text message the fund is controlled by the county party, and is used to raise money to benefit local GOP elected leaders and candidates for local office.
Coyne is a lifelong Democrat who was elected to a second stint as Brook Park mayor in 2013. But he switched parties last year to become an official elector for Trump, and was one of Trump's most visible local supporters last year.
