Clinton to Hold LA Fundraisers with Warren Buffett and the Muppets

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will be joined by Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett at a Los Angeles-area fundraiser for her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on Jan. 7.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clinton will also participate in a family-focused event at the Jim Henson Company in Hollywood with $500 general admission tickets.

Tickets for the evening reception at the home of City National Bank Chairman and CEO Russell Goldsmith and his wife Karen are $2,700, according to an invitation obtained by City News Service. Individuals raising $10,000 will be co-hosts of the event and will have a photo taken with Clinton.

The maximum individual contribution under federal law for a candidate seeking his or her party’s presidential nomination is $2,700.

The trip to Southern California will be the sixth for the 68-year-old Clinton since she declared her candidacy on April 12. She held 14 fundraisers, participated in a roundtable discussion with a group of home care providers and appeared on the ABC late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” during her previous visits to the region.
