Hillary Clinton to hold fundraiser June 20 in San Francisco

http://www.mercurynews.com/politics-government/ci_28266311/political-blotter-hillary-clinton-hold-fundraiser-june-20

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be back in the Bay Area to raise campaign money in a few weeks, just a little more than a month since her last sweep through the region.

Clinton will attend a brunch reception on Saturday, June 20 in San Francisco's Mission District, hosted by real estate broker, former planning commissioner and attorney Rick Hills. Tickets start at $2,700 per person; co-hosts who raise $27,000 or more and hosts who raise $50,000 or more will be invited to a pre-reception and photo line with Clinton.

An email sent Monday to announce the event noted that Clinton's campaign recently unveiled a finance committee structure in which someone who raises $27,000 in 30 days will be a "Hillstarter" with a seat on the Northern California finance committee; someone who raises $50,000 by Dec. 31 will be a "Hillraiser" with a seat on the Northwest regional finance committee; and someone who raises $100,000 by Dec. 31 will be a "Hillblazer" with a seat on the national finance committee.

"We hope you will use this opportunity to help reach your goals and take part in the wonderful benefits (soon to be revealed) associated with each committee," the email said.

I guess the above sentence kind of says it all....

Ah yes, the Mission. The capital of gentrification. There weren't any rich Hillary backers in Pacific Heights?
