Aldermanic President candidate Lewis Reed and Kacie Starr Triplett, the woman looking to follow Reed in the Board of Aldermen, are both having fundraisers this week. Labels: Alderman_Races, BOA_President_Race
"An Evening With A Starr", a 'raiser for Triplett's 6th Ward campaign, is happening tonight at 5:30 at Van Goghz Martini Bar, 3200 Shenandoah. The night will feature Bommarito "Shooting Starr" wine and a signature "Starr" cocktail. The night's theme continues with the contributions -- a $25 gift is a Quasar, $100 is a Red Giant, and supporters go Supernova with $500 or more.
Then on Saturday supporters of Lewis Reed will be hosting a fundraiser at the newly renovated Field School Lofts, 4466 Olive Street, in the Central West End.
The event will feature a silent auction of works by local artists and music from D.J. Patti Thomas and Erika Johnson and the Kitchen. For more info, go to www.LewisReed.net.
If you know of any other fundraisers or campaign events this week, please email the info to editor@pubdef.net or fax to (314) 367-3429.
UPDATE: Not exactly a fundraiser, but the City Democrats will be gathering TONIGHT to watch Speaker Nancy Pelosi take her seat behind President Bush for the State of The Union Address. The place is The Royale, 3132 S. Kingshighway, and the time is 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. (speech begins at 8:00). Free pizza appetizers and $2.50 Schlafly drafts during the speech.
Disclosure: Both Reed and Triplett are clients of A D French & Associates. However, all campaigns are encouraged to send press releases and event info as well.

Antonio,
You should be in bed. This post was at 2:34 a.m. You are one committed brother.

Don't worry about me. I napped earlier.

How can Triplett solicit donations of $500 or greater? Isn't the $325 cap still in play for her race?

The portion of the law doing away with contribution limits is still in effect. What Judge Richard Callahan temporarily blocked was the new ban on fundraising during the legislative session.

Jim Shrewsbury had a fundraiser saturday night, too. Going to try to go to his and Reed's. It's good to keep your bridges intact, and I've decided not to take a public position on that race. Spending energy on my own. I like them both and think they both have good qualities. Would like to see them tie and work together. Good luck with that. Might have my preferences, but going to keep them to myself. Generally, go with underdog, often being one myself, but not always, and anyhow, not sure who that would be here.
