Clinton to hold fundraiser with House and Senate Democrats

[LiberalArkie]

Hillary Clinton will hold a fundraiser with the entire House and Senate Democratic leadership next week, the first event of its kind for the presumptive Democratic nominee.

The event will be held June 21 in Washington, and will feature Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.), Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.), Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.), Sen. Debbie Stabenow (Mich.) and Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.).

From the House side, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.), Rep. Jim Clyburn (S.C.), Rep. Xavier Becerra (Calif.), Rep. Joe Crowley (N.Y.), Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (N.M.) and Rep. Steve Israel (N.Y.) will all attend.

Tickets cost $2,700, but $27,000 gets you named as a host, and a photo with Clinton.

1. Good

The full ticket needs as much support as it can get.

9. Pop Quiz

Is this snark by a Sanders supporter (who prolly gave 1/100th of the ticket fee), or a notice of invitation to Clinton $upporter?

15. Excellent tactics. Mobilize the Congress to switch from R to D.

This is a campaign that knows its stuff.
