Hillary Clinton to headline fundraiser for first-time female candidates

Hilary Clinton will headline a fundraiser honoring first-time female candidates next week in New York, Buzzfeed reported Friday.

The Sept. 12 event will raise funds for five Democratic women running for U.S. Congress — Lauren Underwood of Illinois, Gina Ortiz Jones of Texas, Liuba Grechen Shirley of New York, Haley Stevens of Michigan, and Xochitl Torres Small of New Mexico.

It is being hosted by Arena PAC and is advertising Clinton as a "special guest" — the first female presidential nominee from a major party — on an invitation obtained by Buzzfeed.

The event will take place at the home of fashion executive Lauren Santo Domingo, who recently hosted an event for potential 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), the outlet noted.
