Hillary Clinton sets Oct. 2 Fort Lauderdale fundraiser

hillary clinton 08-10

The Hillary Clinton campaign will stop in Florida early next month for a ritzy fundraiser at the Fort Lauderdale residence of longtime Clinton supporters and Democratic mega-donors Sharon and Mitchell Berger.

An entry-level ticket to the Oct. 2 event, which includes a photo opportunity with the former secretary of state, will set participants back $2,700, the legal limit an individual can contribute to a political campaign.

Raising $15,000 in campaign cash will get donors into the host reception with Clinton, while a $27,000 fundraising effort will include a membership to the “Hillstarter” program, a name the Clinton campaign assigned to its crowd-funding initiatives.

Including political committee money pledged in support, Clinton had raised about $67.8 million for her presidential run through the quarterly reporting period ending July 31. Although her fundraising numbers put her far ahead of her Democratic competitors, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush holds the top spot among declared candidates with $120 million.

Here’s he event announcement:

    Need much more pressure to process untested Rape Kits. The numbers and ages of Backlogs are Unbelievable. Women are now being treated as if they aren’t important but women MATTER…Where is the support for them? It’s Hillary Clinton. She needs your votes and Donations. She can do it.
