Giuliani to headline Reichert fundraiser

Rudy GiulianiRudy GiulianiFormer New York City Mayor and one time Republican presidential frontrunner Rudolph Giuliani will be in the area to headline a fundraiser for Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Auburn) on August 25. Giuliani's turn for Reichert coincides with his participation in a motivational seminar at Seattle's Key Arena on the same day.

Money has been a major issue in the 8th District race so far, with Democratic challenger Darcy Burner (D-Carnation), who just had a fundraiser with House Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), outraising Reichert so far. Through the end of July, Burner had raised $2.3 million to Reichert's $1.8 million, and their cash on hand difference is about the same as their contribution difference.
