Is Republican lobbyist Ed Rogers becoming the Democratic Party's newest fundraiser?***begin snark*** I'm anticipating a flood of diaries on Daily Kos attacking Chuck Schumer any minute now. ****end snark***
This week, Rogers co-hosted an event for Charles Schumer of New York, the Senate Democratic Conference vice chairman. The affair raised more than $25,000 for the Empire State's senior senator. It was the second time recently that Rogers has put his name on a fundraising invitation for a Democrat: On March 24, he co-hosted a fundraiser for former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, who is running for governor in Virginia.
