Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is helping out her former running mate with a high dollar fundraiser at the Arizona Biltmore. Palin will be courting contributions for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) – the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee – on March 23 as part of her swing through Arizona to aide his re-election campaign.
For $2,500, McCain donors can attend an hour-long reception with the former GOP vice presidential nominee and get a chance for a picture with Palin.
Those not attending the reception can pay $500 each for a two-hour dinner, or $1,000 for preferred seating.
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), along with Arizona GOP Reps. Jeff Flake, Trent Franks and John Shadegg will also be at the fundraiser.
The fundraiser is being held at the same resort where the McCain-Palin campaign spent election night – and where Palin was rebuffed by McCain aides from delivering a speech following their loss to President Barack Obama.
Palin is just one of the many high profile endorsements that McCain has rolled out recently in his battle against former Rep. J.D. Hayworth – who is challenging McCain from the right.
In addition to Palin, McCain can tout the endorsements of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and the state’s entire Republican delegation.
