Obama to headline Giannoulias fundraiser
President Barack Obama will headline a Chicago fundraiser on Aug. 5 for Democrat Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias, his campaign announced today.The fundraiser announcement, which was confirmed by the White House, comes on the heels of the one-term state treasurer announcing that he is trailing Republican opponent Mark Kirk in fundraising by a significant margin. "The President's visit will reinforce the importance of the clear choice Illinois voters face" between Giannoulias and Kirk, a veteran North Shore congressman, Giannoulias campaign manager Mike Rendina said in a statement. Giannoulias and Kirk are vying for the seat Obama held when he was elected president. Posted by: Fred 2010-07-20 |
