Clinton Attending Southland Fundraisers Hosted By Actor Tobey Maguire, Westfield CEO
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton continues fundraising in the Southland Friday to support her Democratic presidential nomination.
And she'll be getting some help from big names in Hollywood and business.
She'll start with a luncheon around 12:30 p.m. at the Beverly Hills home of Westfield Corp. co-CEO Peter Lowy and his wife Janine.
HBO executive Michael Lombardo and husband Sonny Ward are hosting a fundraiser at their home at 5 p.m.
That will be followed by a 7 p.m. event at the home of actor Tobey Maguire and his wife Jennifer Meyer.
On Thursday, she met with campaign donors at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach. Ticket prices ranged between $1,000 and $2,700, which is the maximum contribution allowed for a party donor.
Clinton, 67, is hoping to be the nation's first female president.
She's stressing her commitment "to being a champion for everyday Americans" and outlines "the four fights that are the focus of her campaign — building the economy of tomorrow, not yesterday; strengthening families and communities; fixing our dysfunctional political system; protecting our country from threats," an aide said.
The visit to the Southland is Clinton's second since declaring her candidacy on April 12.
She also held three fundraisers on the Westside last month.
