Two Fundraisers for Clinton’s Campaign Organized by Tim Kaine

Two fundraisers for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign headlined by her vice presidential running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, are scheduled for the Los Angeles area next week, beginning with a dinner Monday night at the home of actress Eva Longoria.

Tickets for the “Latinos for Hillary Dinner with Tim Kaine” begin at $10,000 per person, according to an invitation obtained by City News Service. Individuals paying $33,400 will have their picture taken with Kaine, D- Virginia.

The $33,400 figure is the maximum amount an individual can contribute to a national party committee per year.

Those paying $100,000 will be designated as event chairs and be admitted to a reception with other event chairs in addition to the dinner and having their picture taken with Kaine.

The dinner will be the second Clinton campaign fundraiser in the Los Angeles area with a $100,000 price tag in a seven-day span.

Former President Bill Clinton spoke at a $100,000 per couple dinner Tuesday at the Beverly Hills-area home of Barry Diller, the chairman and senior executive of the media and internet company IAC and the travel company Expedia, Inc., and his fashion designer wife, Diane von Furstenberg.

Hillary Clinton had been scheduled to speak at the event, but plans for her to travel to California were canceled after she fell ill at a 9/11 ceremony in New York on Sunday, and it was announced that she was suffering fom walking pneumonia.

A “Conversation with Tim Kaine” luncheon is set for Tuesday in the Beverly Hills area, hosted by Jay Sures, a managing director of the talent and literary agency UTA.

Ticket prices begin at $2,700, the maximum individual contribution to a presidential candidate in the general election under federal law. Individuals paying $10,000 will have their picture taken with Kaine. Those donating $27,000 will be designated as co-hosts and be admitted to a co-host reception.

The trip will be Kaine’s second to the Los Angeles area since becoming the Democratic vice presidential nominee. He spoke at a fundraiser Aug. 20 with ticket prices of $1,000 and $10,000.

Natalie Strom, assistant press secretary for the Republican National Committee, criticized the fundraising trip.

“While his Senate colleagues will conduct important hearings and hold votes next week, Tim Kaine clearly prefers to spend his time lining his campaign’s pockets and schmoozing with Democrat insiders,” Strom said. “His absence is just another entry in the Clinton-Kaine ticket’s proven history of putting their personal political ambitions over their responsibility to the American people.”
