Bachmann to headline Ohio GOP Fundraiser
Bachmann, who has forged a national image as one of the most fiery conservatives in Congress, is slated to speak at the Lincoln-Reagan Dinner hosted by the Hamilton County Republican Party on Feb. 26. Hamilton County includes Cincinnati.
Hamilton County Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou said he personally sought out Bachmann for the event because of her rising stature as an outspoken conservative.
The campaign manager for Bachmann's opponent in the Sixth District, Tarryl Clark, issued an unrelated fundraising appeal to supporters on Monday attacking the Stillwater congresswoman for these types of speaking engagements.
"Congresswoman Bachmann will spend 2010 just like she spent 2009 - promoting her personal agenda and continuing to obstruct reform," Zach Rodvold wrote. "She's already booked to travel across the country, speaking at Tea Party Conventions and raising money from her national conservative base."
