SHARE Romney hits Chicago next Thursday: Raise $25,000, get private dinner with Mitt

WASHINGTON–GOP White House hopeful Mitt Romney hits Chicago on Thursday for a high end fund-raiser hosted by Susan Crown (of the Crown family) and her husband William Kunkler.

The Oct. 27 event is 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in Ivy Room at Tree Studios, 12 East Ohio. There is a sliding scale for donors: if you are a “bundler” pledging to raise $25,000 you are an event co-chair who will get a private dinner with Romney. An under-40 Romney backer can get in for $100.

Romney has the strongest Illinois organization of any of the Republican 2012 contenders and the list of his co-hosts for his Chicago event shows fund-raising fire-power:

Robert H. Asher

Congresswoman Judy Biggert

Charlie Bobrinskoy

John Canning

Mayor Roger Claar

Dan Dumezich

Ty Fahner

Michael Ferro

Randy Fifield

Steven Fifield

Howard Foster

Matt Gambs

David Hoese

Richard Jaffee

Fred Krehbiel

Tim Larsen

Robert McCormack

Andy McKenna, Jr.

Richard Porter

Stephen Quazzo

J. Christopher Reyes

John Rowe

Treasurer Dan Rutherford, Illinois Romney chair

Muneer Satter

William Strong

Alexander Stuart

Miles White

There’s a lot of political money in the Chicago area: First Lady Michelle Obama is in Chicago on Tuesday for a fund-raiser for the 2012 re-election bid and healthy eating events with Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The Chicago Sun-Times Stella Foster reported that another GOP White House hopeful, Herman Cain, will headline a fund-raiser Tuesday.
