Patrick Kennedy to Raise Funds for Case
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), the fifth-ranking member of the House Democratic leadership, will be the featured speaker at a fund-raising breakfast for congressional candidate Michael Case on Monday.
Case, a Ventura lawyer, is challenging Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-Simi Valley), who is seeking an eighth term in Congress.
Case said Kennedy’s trip to Ventura County shows that “this race is an important opportunity to help win a Democratic majority in the House this year.†Kennedy is chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The fund-raiser for Case, who trails Gallegly 5 to 1 in campaign donations, will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Oxnard Radisson Hotel on Esplanade Drive.
The election is Nov. 7.
