Stephen Colbert will hold two fundraisers to raise money for his sister's campaign for Congress in South Carolina, in which she will likely face former Gov. Mark Sanford.
Politico reports:
An event in Washington featuring the Comedy Central host is scheduled for April 15, while Colbert and former investment banker Sallie Krawcheck will host a New York City event April 23; that event will be at Krawcheck’s home.
For the D.C. event, a minimum donation of $2,600 is required to attend the private reception, while general admission tickets to the fundraiser cost $500.
According to recent polling, Colbert-Busch is neck and neck with Sanford, who is poised to win his runoff election Tuesday night. An internal poll released by Colbert-Busch's campaign shows her leading Sanford, 47-44 percent. A poll by the Democratic-leaning PPP last month also showed Colbert-Busch with a slight lead among likely voters, by a margin of 47-45 percent.
