More than five dozen lobbyists are named as members of the host committee for a fund-raising reception in Washington to benefit DeLay's re-election campaign. The event is expected to be the largest fundraiser for a single member of Congress this year.
Host committee members are expected to give the maximum $2,100 personal contribution or to raise $5,000 for DeLay's re-election.
The fundraiser was organized by some of DeLay's staffers-turned-lobbyists after his indictment in September.
