Campaigner in Chief: Obama heading out on yet another campaign fundraising spree

Between Friday and the end of November, Obama will appear at seven fundraisers — three each for House and Senate Democrats and one for the DNC. The DNC fundraiser and two of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee events have not been previously reported. - Politico

Obama’s month of fundraising will begin Friday when he is set to headline a dinner and reception in New York City on behalf of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the first of three DCCC-related fundraisers the president is scheduled to appear at within the next month. He will also appear with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and DCCC Chairman Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) on Oct. 30 outside Boston and on Nov. 24 in a Seattle suburb.

Obama pledged to take part in 14 fundraising events for House and Senate Democrats in 2013, but has appeared at just five so far. He will have done 10 House and Senate fundraisers by Thanksgiving.
