Looking to get away this fall? Or maybe just a fun night out on the town?
Members of the House Financial Services Committee have you covered — as long as you pony up to help their reelection campaigns.
First up, over the weekend of Oct. 28-30, Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., is hosting a weekend in Key Largo, Fla. Tickets are $2,500. Next, on Nov. 3, Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., is hosting donors for a night at the Jay-Z and Kanye West concert at the Verizon Center in Washington. The suggested contribution for Carson's fund-raiser is $1,500 for an individual or $2,500 for a couple. Tickets are also still available from Ticketmaster, but we're guessing the seats aren't as good.
Finally, on Dec. 9-10, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., is hosting a holiday weekend for two to New York City. Included are a reception at Maloney's home, dinner at Sardi's in midtown Manhattan, and tickets to the musical "Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark". Tickets purchased by an individual are $4,800, while those bought by political action committees are $5,000. Invitations for all three events are posted on the Sunlight Foundation's Party Time website, which tracks the political party circuit.
