Romney's first duty in Washington? Fundraising

Romney's first duty in Washington? Fundraising
Politico, Nov 23, 2018

Utah Republican Mitt Romney hasn’t yet been sworn in to the Senate, but he’s already flexing his fundraising muscle.

The senator-elect is hosting a donor event Tuesday evening in Washington for Believe in America PAC, his newly-formed political action committee, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO. The fundraiser will be the PAC’s first.

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, will be no ordinary freshman senator. He is expected to use his national profile and formidable fundraising network to collect chits and help elect Republicans across the country. Believe in America PAC and Team Mitt, a Romney-backed joint fundraising committee, were set up immediately after the Nov. 6 midterm election. Both vehicles can be used to send donations to GOP candidates.

Tuesday’s event provides a window into how the former GOP nominee will use his profile and deep connections as senator. Organizing the event are Michael McCollum Adams and Lauren Hamel, both of whom served as top fundraisers for outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan, Romney’s 2012 running mate.

Isn't fundraising to help Senators the function of the NRSC?  Interesting.  IMO, there is reason to send donations directly to candidates and not a PAC.

Because Utah just voted for him as their Senator.

"Because Utah just voted for him as their Senator."

A beautiful and [mostly] conservative state, but even they are capable of incredibly stupid moves...
