Republican in tight AZ race expected to get $75,000 boost from fundraiser featuring Paul Ryan
It's incredible that the GOP is fighting this hard for a seat that has always been deeply red.
As the special election battle in Arizona's 8th Congressional District heats up, the Republican nominee in the race is bringing in a big player, House Speaker Paul Ryan, to help push her campaign over the finish line.
The event, scheduled for Wednesday on Capitol Hill, is projected to rack up $75,000 for Debbie Lesko's campaign, sources close to the former Arizona state senator, speaking on condition of anonymity, told CNBC.
With an entrance fee of up to $2,500, the funds are expected to go directly to the campaign, the sources said.
On Tuesday, Hiral Tipirneni, a doctor running as a Democrat in a district that has traditionally voted for Republicans, got some good news from an outlier poll showing her leading Lesko by one point.

Man I hope she pulls it off. Needs to use more common words though considering it's a red district.
