WASHINGTON--House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is one of the Democrats top draws when it comes to fund-raising. Major donors demand face time with the big shot Democrats: Pelosi, President Obama, Vice President Biden and former President Bill Clinton can draw in the major checks.
The Pelosi political travel so far, according to the Speakers office:
"Since entering the Democratic leadership in 2002, the Speaker has raised more than $215 million for Democrats. In the current cycle, the Speaker has raised $50.1 million for the DCCC, Members, and candidates. This cycle, she has been to 24 states and one territory, holding 194 political events (not including events in D.C. and SF).
"October Travel:
The Speaker will travel across the country for the DCCC, Members and candidates, participating in more than 25 fundraising events in 8 states with 21 Members and candidates as well as message events on the "Make it in America" manufacturing strategy, job creation, protecting Social Security, honoring our commitments to Troops & Veterans and the Patients' Bill of Rights."
