Donald Trump's campaign and the RNC got a major financial boost with a massive $898,800 contribution from Indian-American industrialist — and longtime GOP ally — Shalabh Kumar.
Donations this big are possible thanks to Trump's joint fundraising committee with the RNC and multiple state GOP parties, which can accept contributions as high as $449,400; both Kumar and his wife gave the maximum amount allowed under campaign finance law. Kumar, the founder of the Republican Hindu Coalition, told The Hill that he agreed with Trump's tough stance on Pakistan and his views on Muslim profiling. Kumar and his wife then doubled down on the Trump campaign by making the enormous contribution. "That's just the start. That's seed money," Kumar said during the first day of the GOP convention.
However, this is not the beginning of Kumar's financial support of the GOP. The CEO of the Chicago-based manufacturing firm AVG Advanced Technologies contributed $5,400 to the Ted Cruz campaign in March, and he's ponied up $26,200 in support of the Senate re-election campaigns of Kelly Ayotte, Ron Johnson, Richard Burr and Rob Portman, according to OpenSecrets.org. Kumar says he'll spend $2 million in support of the GOP throughout the 2016 cycle.
But Kumar isn't the only big supporter of Trump. According to FEC records, 18 individuals maxed out to Trump Victory in the month of June, including: Texas businessman Darwin Deason and his wife, Katrina; Rebekah Mercer, daughter of hedge-fund magnate Robert Mercer; and Laura Perlmutter, wife of Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter.

Two presidential candidates are all but ready to declare victory as their party's nominees. But they're not waiting until the conventions to fundraise through their Victory Funds.
Want to become a Hillstarter? $27,000. Hillraiser? $50,000 Hillblazer? $100,000.
Donald Trump has his own benefits package.
Want to give $15,000? You're now one of Trump's Eagles.
Want to give $2,700? You're now aboard the Trump Train.
McCutcheon vs. FEC, building on Citizens United vs. FEC, ruled that limiting aggregate contributions an individual can make to national parties and federal candidate committees is unconstitutional. Thus, such vessels make high-dollar fundraisers as easy as unregulated super PACs.
For the past few election cycles, joint fundraising committees (JFCs) have become commonplace once a party's nominee is known. Based on Sunlight's previous reporting, we know that a single donor can give $358,880 to the Hillary Victory fund. The money is dispersed through the following channels: $5,400 to Hillary for America, $33,400 to the DNC general account, and $320,000 to 32 state parties ($10,000 to each). The JFC officially formed on September 10, 2015 and Clinton attended her first Victory Fund event in early December of 2015.
These Victory funds don't usually pop up until after the nomination is locked. However, Clinton attended her first Victory fundraiser in December of 2015 and benefited from hundreds of Hillary for America fundraisers beforehand. Barack Obama's Victory fund was created in June of 2008 – just five months before the election. As of December 31, 2012, Obama's Victory Fund raised $456 million and Mitt Romney's Victory Fund raised $493 million.
By comparison, Donald Trump's Trump Victory Committee fund held its first event on May 24, 2016. A single donor can give up to $449,400 to Trump's JFC through the following channels: $5,400 to Trump for President, $33,400 to the RNC general account, $100,200 to the RNC legal account, $100,200 to the RNC convention account, $100,200 to the RNC headquarters account, and $11,000 to 11 state parties.
For context, over three-fourths of Obama's donors were from large individual contributions. Compare this to Romney's Victory Fund whose committee only raise 10 percent of funds from small donors.

The Donald openly admits to his contributions on both sides of the aisle, but his past beneficiaries may surprise you. From the founder of Jimmy John's to Henry Kissinger, here's whom Trump has fundraised with in the past seven years.
— He partnered with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — who eventually became a presidential opponent-turned-supporter of Trump — two years ago to fundraise for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, who also went on to endorse Trump, at the Trump National Golf Club.
— Trump teamed up with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to help elect Pam Bondi, the Republican Florida attorney general, at a Palm Beach, Fla., fundraiser.
— Iowa Rep. Steve King, R, enjoyed Trump's fundraising prowess in 2014, only to endorse Ted Cruz for the 2016 election.
— Trump fundraised for the Republican Party of Palm Beach County at the Lincoln Day Dinner, again featuring Christie as well as conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, a Trump supporter.
— Just last week, Donald hosted a fundraiser for the Suffolk County Republicans in New York.
Not all his fundraising goes to "winners"
While Trump claims he always wins, some of Trump's fundraisers benefitted "losers."
— Trump fundraised for Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in 2009, who lost his Senate race to Marco Rubio. Trump also donated to Crist's campaign multiple times.
— Donald hosted a fundraiser in his New York City home for Tea Party Rep. Allen B. West, Fla., who went on to become a conservative commentator after losing his re-election bid in 2012.
Throwing presidential parties
And while Trump hasn't officially ran for president until this election, he's been involved in presidential fundraising in the past.
— Mitt Romney created a "Dine with The Donald" event where donors could contribute as little as $10 and be entered to win a seat at Trump's table.
— Just a month before the 2012 presidential election, Trump hosted a massive retreat benefiting presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Other notable names on the billing included Mayor Rudy Giuliani who recently, sort of, endorsed Donald Trump, Jimmy John Liautaud (founder of Jimmy John's subs), comedian Dennis Miller, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, and businessman and investor Charles Schwab.
Since then, the relationship has apparently soured; the two have had some not-so-nice things to say about each other.
And even when Trump wasn't in attendance for his fundraisers, his properties were the prime venue for fundraisers.
— His golf club in Virginia hosted the 32nd Annual Tip O'Neill Golf Tournament for the National Democratic Club, as well as a fundraiser for Indiana Republican Gov. Mike Pence, who has endorsed Trump.
— His tower in Stamford, Conn., was used to support another Romney fundraiser with Henry Kissinger.
— He also lent his hotel in Las Vegas for a Romney event in 2012 which charged up to $250,000 to chair.
— His tower in NYC was used to host a fundraiser for former Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas.
— Trump's International Tower in Chicago played host to a funder for ex-Rep. Melissa Bean, D-Ill.
Even his daughter, Ivanka, hosted a fundraiser with her husband Jared Kushner, owner of Kushner Properties and the New York Observer, at their home for then-Senate candidate Cory Booker back in 2013.
Lastly, of course, here are the fundraisers Party Time has benefiting Trump himself…Tweet 0 Comments
Another day, another fundraiser or five! This week's social calendar is bursting with parties for presidential hopefuls, Senate candidates and groups in early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire.
Before we dive into this week's highlights, what are we missing, party people? If you have an invite or know of an event that's in the works, share with your friends at Party Time! You can upload the goods right here, or email us the details.
Now here's a quick roundup of your week in political partying!
– PT noted last week that Gov. Chris Christie hit the road for some fundraising fun almost immediately after former Port Authority senior official David Wildstein pleaded guilty in the latest development in the Bridgegate scandal. This week, the New Jersey Republican parties hard for his leadership PAC, Leadership Matters for America. Christie gets started on Wednesday with a reception in his home state. He then heads to Virginia to party with GOP heavyweights (and big-time backers of Mitt Romney in 2012) Bobbie and Bill Kilberg. On Thursday, Christie heads to the Peach State for a fundraiser for his PAC in Atlanta, and on Friday, he headlines a breakfast that's part of the Georgia Republican Party State Convention in Athens, GA.
– Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush keeps up his hectic social schedule this week, headlining events in Nevada and Iowa. Unlike most of his other fundraising stops, these events won't pump money into his Right to Rise PACs; instead, they'll be an opportunity to glad-hand donors in early-voting states. On May 13, Bush headlines the Lincoln Day Dinner in Las Vegas for the Clark County Republican Party. Come Saturday, he'll party with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, before heading over to the state party's Lincoln Dinner. It's $100 for general admission and $150 for premium seats at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. (Bush won't be the only presidential wannabe in attendance; former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and Donald Trump will all be on hand on Saturday.)
– Hillary Clinton keeps her fundraiser train moving after a very busy schedule in sunny California last week. On Wednesday, she headlines three fundraisers in Manhattan for her Hillary for America presidential committee. Clinton will party at the home of Erica and L.A. Reid, the head of Epic Records; the home of Cathy and Marc Lasry, a hedge fund manager and the CEO of Avenue Capital Group; and the home of economic analyst Steven Rattner and his wife, Maureen White. White has long ties with the Clintons: She worked in President Bill Clinton's administration, was the national finance co-chair for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid and worked in the State Department during Hillary Clinton's tenure there.
– Despite what newspaper headlines (and, for that matter, PT's blog posts) may tell you, the presidential contest isn't the only thing on the ballot in 2016. With longtime Democratic Sen. Harry Reid retiring at the end of this term, his Nevada seat is up for grabs, making for a must-watch race next fall. Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada's Attorney General from 2007 to 2015, announced in April that she would run for the open seat, and got an immediate thumbs-up from Reid. On Thursday morning, the support continues when Reid headlines a four-figure breakfast for Masto just a few blocks from Capitol Hill.

Party people, the congressional spring break has come to a close, and perhaps the best indicator is the uptick in political partying in our nation's capital. That's right – the politicians are back from their home districts, and that means it's time to hunt for some dollars in the District.
Our social calendar is popping with Washington events, but we are sure there are more parties happening out there. What have you heard about? Share with your friends at Party Time! You can email us, or upload invites using our easy (and confidential) tool right here.
Now let's take a quick look at this week's parties!
– In the latest installment of where-in-the-world-are-Republican-presidential-hopefuls, Party Time brings news of the New Hampshire GOP's First in the Nation Republican Leadership Summit. For two jam-packed days, politicians, media and activists will descend on Nashua to hear from Republican movers and shakers. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, New Hampshire Rep. Frank Guinta, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Donald Trump, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham are all slated to speak at the sold-out event.
– Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., has been in office for a few months, but she's already logged a good amount of time on the fundraiser trail. At the end of March, she trekked to Manhattan for a party hosted by hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer. But on Tuesday, she's got a shorter jaunt – she just has to walk across the street from her office for a breakfast at the Capitol Hill Club. Fellow Virginia Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte is listed as the event's special guest.
– The fight for an Illinois Senate seat hits the moneyed streets of D.C. on Wednesday, when Sen. Mark Kirk and Rep. Tammy Duckworth have dueling fundraisers. A few weeks ago, Duckworth – an Illinois Democrat serving her second term in the House – announced she would challenge Kirk, a Republican who is in his first term in the Senate. Duckworth will have her spring reception Wednesday evening at the Democrats' Capitol Hill townhouse, while Kirk will party at a private home just a few blocks away.
– Rep. Joe Kennedy gets right back into the swing of things with back-to-back political parties on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday evening, the Massachusetts Democrat bowls for dollars at Lucky Strike in Chinatown, where you'll have to spend a lot more than the going rate for shoe and lane rental: Tickets for 90 minutes of bowling go for $1,000 to $2,500. Bright and early Thursday morning, Kennedy will breakfast at the downtown lobbying offices of Cassidy & Associates.
– One member of Congress can't quite seem to say goodbye to spring break just yet. Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif., will take a long weekend at the super swanky St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in sunny SoCal for her annual golf and spa retreat. It's $1,500 per person, $2,500 for a pair, and PACs have to chip in $4,000.
And that's a wrap on your week in political fundraisers! What have we missed and what have you heard about? Let us know!

Fresh off the 2014 campaign trail, first-term Iowa Rep. David Young, R, has already dived headfirst into the money chase. And his seat in a state with the earliest of early presidential nomination contests guarantees visits from plenty of party leaders.
On April 8, Republican presidential prospect and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry will trek to Council Bluffs, Iowa, population 61,000, to join Young at a pizza parlor funder benefitting the freshman congressman.
Tickets for the general public start at just $25, but admission to a special "Private Sponsor Event" runs from $250 to $1,000.
Four-figure fundraising dinners are generally confined to eateries within walking distance of Capitol Hill, or a handful of other posh restaurants scattered around Washington, but the pull of a potential presidential nominee can be a powerful incentive for opening wallets.
It's not the first such occasion for Young.
The announcement of the Council Bluffs get-together comes just days after a local fête with another former governor and 2016 hopeful. On March 6, Jeb Bush attended a $1,000-and-up party in Urbandale benefitting Young's campaign.
Though we are more than 300 days out from the Iowa caucuses, GOP frontrunners are already busy jet-setting from one early voting state to the next, glad handing congressmen and helping out local politicians.
A glance through Perry's twitter feed shows the Texan recently made pitstops in both New Hampshire and Florida in recent weeks.
The fundraising in those early states has already begun to pick up. Party Time's records show 18 Iowa fundraisers already on the books in 2015, including visits from other potential 2016 contenders like Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., and dark horse candidate Donald Trump.Tweet 0 Comments
As most of the country braces for yet another cold snap, Party Time is here to assure you that the political fundraising season is only heating up.
We've got a jam-packed week of political parties on the books, but we also know there must be more brewing out there. Friends, what are we missing and what have you heard about? Share with your friends at Party Time!
You can upload invites right here, or email us whatever you've got. No matter what, we keep our sources 100 percent confidential, meaning you can always feel comfortable sharing.
And now, a look at your week in political parties!
– Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is "testing the waters" for a presidential run in 2016 and he's got a D.C. fundraiser on Tuesday to prove it. The host list for the luncheon for his Security through Strength committee shows he's snagged some key backers, too. Mega Republican donors Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, Blackstone Group lobbyist Wayne Berman, Boston kingmaker Ted Cutler, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Arizona Sen. John McCain are among a long list of attendees.
– As questions continue to swirl around foreign governments' donations to the Clinton Foundation, Emily's List will fete Hillary Clinton at its annual gala dinner on Monday night in D.C. Tickets to the fundraiser for the organization, which supports pro-choice Democratic women candidates, cap out at $30,000, and the special guest list reads like a who's who of top tier progressives. Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin, former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, California Attorney General Kamala Harris, California Rep. Nancy Pelosi and DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz are all slated to attend. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who is now a senior adviser to the pro-Clinton PAC Ready for Hillary, is another special guest.
– If that event doesn't get your heart racing, perhaps this will: Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., will have a seated dinner with the financial services community Monday night in downtown D.C. What's not to love about a sit-down meal with a bunch of bankers and a member of the House Committee on Financial Services?
– Former Gov. Martin O'Malley, D-Md., keeps up his trend of presidential positioning with a two-day trip to New Hampshire at the end of the week. He'll headline a fundraiser in Concord on Friday, plus an event for the state's Democratic Party on Saturday.
– Sen. Bob Casey hits the road! The Pennsylvania Democrat heads to Florida on Friday for a three-day weekend of sun, spring training and sweet fundraising.
– Republicans converge in the Hawkeye State on Saturday for the first annual Iowa Agriculture Summit, put on by GOP donor Bruce Rastetter. Just about every Republican looking to run for president in 2016 will be there, making for a long speakers list, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Donald Trump and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
Whew, what a week, party people! Let us know if you've heard about anything going on out there.Tweet 0 Comments
The Conservative Political Action Conference kicked off its four-day lovefest on Wednesday afternoon, with a fistful of Republican personalities and White House hopefuls aiming to solidify their conservative bona fides and connect with the party's activists.
The yearly confab, hosted by the lobbying organization the American Conservative Union, always promises plenty of red-meat speeches and presidential positioning. But with 2016 shaping up to be one of the more wide-open presidential contests in recent memory, this year's agenda features a particularly long list of speakers. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are all slated to deliver remarks.
And at the end of last week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie got added into the mix. Although Christie scored a standing ovation (even before he started speaking) at last year's event, CPAC organizers snubbed the governor in 2013, just months after Christie memorably embraced President Obama in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
The down-to-the-wire addition of Christie is noteworthy, since the brassy governor has seen his stock fall slightly among Republicans within the past few weeks. The New York Times reported that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, a big-time Republican donor who has hobnobbed with Christie at Republican fundraisers, has opted to back Bush and his all-but-certain presidential run. Johnson reportedly attended two recent fundraisers in the Chicago area for Bush's political committees.
Bush's recent trip to Illinois wasn't all about the parties, though, since the former governor dipped his toe into foreign policy territory with a speech to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. The appearance got mixed reviews, and Bush's uncertain delivery resulted in a Politico article that wondered how his introverted personality would fare on the campaign trail.
On Friday afternoon, Bush will look to quell that narrative with a Q&A session with Fox News' Sean Hannity. A knock-it-out-of-the-park showing at CPAC could endear Bush to the Republican base, long wary of his more moderate stances on education and immigration. In December, for example, radio talk show host Mark Levin – who will speak at CPAC on Saturday morning – said Bush is "a very good moderate Democrat" and "very boring."
Throughout his fundraisers and public appearances, Bush has carefully avoided saying the words "Common Core" – the federal education benchmarks that have become synonymous with big government among conservatives – even though he supports the standards. Even if the topic doesn't come up during the Friday Q&A, the subject still gets the CPAC treatment on Thursday with a breakout session titled "Common Core: Rotten to the Core?"
Wednesday afternoon's activism training gets the ball rolling, but CPAC begins in earnest on Thursday morning with an 8:40 a.m. talk by Dr. Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon and conservative darling flirting with a presidential run. Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst speaks during a noontime tribute to veterans, and Walker, Jindal and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin close out the day with back-to-back-to-back speeches.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and radio talk show host Laura Ingraham get things started on Friday, and RNC head Reince Priebus, Donald Trump and NRA chief Wayne LaPierre follow with remarks throughout the day. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will keynote Friday night's Ronald Reagan Dinner. Saturday features a full day of breakout sessions about religious freedom, government spending, abortion and gun rights, as well as the results of the conference's all-important straw poll, which provides a snapshot of how conservatives feel about potential presidential candidates. (Paul won the poll last year.)
One-day passes go for $125, but premium tickets – which get attendees priority seating at breakout sessions and admission to the Ronald Reagan Dinner and meet and greets – are $1,700 at the door.

Hey, party people, hey! If you can believe it, we are already churning through January, combating the cold by keeping track of all of the hobnobbing happening at political parties.
The theme of the year has been, so far, all about early-on angling by presidential hopefuls. The 2016 election is still 22 months away, but that hasn't stopped the likes of Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney and Sen. Marco Rubio from ramping up their fundraising operations.
As always, Party Time is on the hunt for the latest developments on the party circuit. But as the fundraising fun ramps up after the holidays and swearing-in ceremonies, we need your help! What have you heard about, friends? Please-oh-please send us whatever you've got by shooting us an email or uploading invites right here. (And rest assured: PT always keeps mum about our sources.)
Let's get to your week in political parties!
GOP goes big in Iowa
Conservative heavyweights and activists descend on Des Moines Saturday for a full day of red, white and blue rallying. This year's Freedom Summit, a joint effort put on by Citizens United and Iowa Rep. Steve King, boasts a long list of speakers who will talk about the economy, social issues and national defense (and maybe 2016 prospects?).
Sarah Palin, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Donald Trump, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Newt Gingrich, Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Ben Carson, Utah Sen. Mike Lee, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, Iowa Rep. Rod Blum, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, Carly Fiorina, Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, former Ambassador John Bolton, former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan and New Hampshire state Rep. William O'Brien will all be on hand.
This is the second annual Freedom Summit, and the free event hit capacity again. Last year's get-together was in New Hampshire and featured many of the same speakers, although this time around, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is noticeably absent from the lineup. Hmmm …
Money for Marco
Sen. Marco Rubio is in full-on can't stop, won't stop mode. The Florida Republican just published his book, "American Dreams: Restoring Economic Opportunity for Everyone," hit up donors at a luncheon tied to the tome's release, and chatted up Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show." Plus, Rubio keeps on reminding everyone that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's decision to run for the White House won't impact the senator's presidential plans.
And this weekend, Rubio parties with his biggest fans at the Fourth Annual Team Marco Event in Miami Beach. The fundraiser, at the super swanky Delano South Beach Hotel, will benefit Rubio's leadership PAC, the Rubio Victory Committee. Fingers crossed for a round of Marco Polo in the hotel's infinity pool.
Everything's bigger in Texas
Our friends in the Lone Star State sure know how to throw a party. Whether they are hosting national Democrats for a star-studded shindig at a filmmaker's home in Austin or gathering conservatives for Americans for Prosperity's National Summit in Dallas, the good folks out in Texas never disappoint.
And this week, the tradition continues. Inauguration festivities will keep Austin buzzing for two days as the state welcomes Republican Greg Abbott to the Governor's Mansion.
Things get started on Monday evening with what organizers are calling the Young Texans Celebration. The Josh Abbott Band – whose lead singer isn't related to the incoming governor although they share the same last name – will perform at the Moody Theater, with tickets going for $35 per person.
The inauguration itself takes place Tuesday morning, and will be followed by a lunchtime BBQ (obviously). Word on the street is that planners ordered four tons of beef brisket! Eddie Deen & Company, which put together the grub for inaugural events for former Govs. Rick Perry and George W. Bush, will cater the meal, according to the Texas Tribune. Then, after the BBQ at the Capitol, there's a parade along Congress Avenue in downtown Austin.
Things get fancier by Tuesday night, though, with a black tie inauguration gala at the Convention Center. Lady Antebellum and Pat Green are slated to headline the Future of Texas Ball, where tickets start at $75.
And who, you might ask, is bankrolling such a full schedule of celebratory events, which is estimated to cost upwards of $4 million? You'll have to wait until after the party wraps to learn that. According to the Dallas Morning News, in a break from previous inaugural committees (and in a departure from Abbott's campaign, which focused on government transparency), officials this year are staying quiet about the donors until after the champagne gets popped.
B-ball bucks
A few months after winning his first full term in Congress, Sen. Chris Coons celebrates by hitting the Party Time circuit with a fundraiser for his leadership PAC, Blue Hen PAC. On Wednesday night, the Delaware Democrat and his donors will hobnob at the Verizon Center while the Washington Wizards take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Tickets are $2,500 per person, which will put you in the "assist" category, while $5,000 for a pair will give you the distinction of a "three-pointer" contributor. We get the attempt at basketball-themed donor tiers, but could you all be a bit more creative – or at least consistent? How about ranking gifts as assists versus alley-oops? Or maybe labeling different levels as a layup versus a three-pointer?
Also: How has no one created a "bank shot" donor tier for a basketball fundraiser? Just sayin'.

Hello party people! As the march toward midterms continues, so does politicians' cross-country cash grab. Your elected representatives are working hard for the money, partying big time with deep-pocketed donors and bringing in dough at a breakneck pace.
In fact, one of the best indicators of a packed party schedule is a look at what events didn't make our weekly highlight list. A fundraiser for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (headlined by Hillary Clinton, no less!) and a shoot-out at a gun club for Colorado State Senate candidate Ray Scott didn't even make the cut. Friends, that's saying something.
Even though our social calendar is packed this week, we just know there's more stuff going on out there. What are we missing, and what have you heard about? If you are feeling generous, you can email us the goods or upload an official invite right here. And never fear: We keep our sources 100 percent confidential, so you can feel comfortable sharing with us.
And with that, let's dive into your week in political parties!
The Donald goes to Iowa
Rep. Steve King and Donald Trump walk into a West Des Moines mansion …
No, that's not the beginnings of a joke, and yes, that's exactly what's going to happen on Saturday evening. The billionaire businessman, one-time presidential candidate and purveyor of some truly fabulous quotes is hosting (what else?) An Evening with Donald Trump to benefit King's reelection campaign. This comes the same week that a bankruptcy court will be hearing The Donald's request to slash worker benefits at his troubled Atlantic City casino.
A September poll gave the Iowa Republican an 11-point lead over his Democratic challenger, Jim Mowrer, but the race for campaign cash is a different story. Sunlight's Real-Time tracker tool shows that Mowrer has raised more money and has more cash on hand than King, who is running for his seventh term in the House.
King's party with the Donald, which we heard about from our friends at the Des Moines Register, goes down at George Cataldo's $2.6 million pad on Tulip Tree Lane, the site of a 2012 private fundraiser headlined by Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio. And if the host's name sounds vaguely familiar to horse racing fans, yes, Cataldo is the part owner of Paddy O'Prado, the thoroughbred who came in third in 2010's Kentucky Derby.
And if all that wasn't enough, the Trump-headlined party – which will also feature Iowa Republicans Sen. Chuck Grassley, Rep. Tom Latham, Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds – comes on the heels of another celebrity nod for the King camp. Chuck Norris endorsed King last week, but no news about any upcoming campaign events with the "Walker, Texas Ranger" star.
Biden keeps busy
It has been a jam-packed few weeks for Vice President Joe Biden: He's been partying hard, traveling all over the place and doing his best to look super cool while eating ice cream.
The hectic schedule continues this week when the VP travels to sunnier states to headline Democratic fundraisers. First up is a jaunt down to Florida on Monday for a party for Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor who is running for his old position, but this time as a Democrat. Crist may be a convert, but Party Time's data show he's gotten loads of help from Dem bigwigs, getting feted by the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as mega Sunshine State fundraisers Mitchell Berger and John Morgan.
On Tuesday, Biden travels to South Carolina for two events. He and his wife, Jill Biden, are slated to headline a get-out-the-vote event in Columbia before attending a fundraiser for the state's Democratic Party. It's Biden's second trip so far this year to the Palmetto State, site of the first in the presidential primary in the South. In May, he did a similar one-two punch, giving the keynote at a state party luncheon fundraiser and then delivering the commencement speech at the University of South Carolina.
With multiple warm weather stops in his near future, look for Biden to sneak in a stop to an ice cream stand or two.
Presidential partying
The partier-in-chief is at it again with another batch of fundraisers this week. As of this writing, President Barack Obama has three events on the books, but Party Time totally expects that number to increase. After all, his schedule last week included stops in D.C., New York, Connecticut, Los Angeles and San Francisco. (If you know of a presidential party that we don't have on our list, you know what to do! Send whatever you've got right here.)
Obama gets started on Tuesday with a roundtable discussion and dinner for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee at the McLean home of Tori Winkler Thomas, a longtime Dem donor. DCCC Chairman Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. – both rock stars in their own right on the partying circuit – will join the president.
On Wednesday, it will be a DSCC fundraiser in Union, N.J., the Newark Star-Ledger reports, and then up to Connecticut for an old-fashioned campaign rally. Were you lucky enough to get an invite to the Union do? Give us the confidential upload right here.
Come Thursday, Obama travels to Long Island for a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee at the Garden City Hotel. Jay Jacobs, the head of the Nassau County Democratic Party, and his wife, Mindy, will host the event. Although Obama hits up New York donors often, Thursday's shindig marks the first time the president has been at a fundraiser in that part of the Empire State, according to local reporters.
GOP '16 prospects hit $$ trail
Republican governors unite! This week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, two state heads often in the mix as likely presidential potentials, stump for other GOP gubernatorial candidates.
Christie, who has traveled all over and brought in mega money as the chairman of the Republican Governors Association, starts off his week on Tuesday with a private fundraiser in Maine for Gov. Paul LePage. Former Sen. Olympia Snowe and her husband, former Gov. John McKernan Jr. – a Pine Tree State power couple if there ever was one – will also be on hand to gin up support during the lunchtime event.
On Thursday, Christie makes his way to Chicago for a luncheon for the state's Republican Party. Tickets start at $1,000 per plate, but $10,000 gets you six spots at the private roundtable, seats at lunch and entry to a photo reception. And Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk and Reps. Rodney Davis, Randy Hultgren, Adam Kinzinger, Peter Roskam, Aaron Schock and John Shimkus will all party alongside Bruce Rauner, who is hoping to unseat Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in November.
Of all the races Christie has weighed in on, the gubernatorial contest in his neighboring state of New York isn't one of them. In fact, in July, the RGA head said he wouldn't campaign for Rob Astorino, calling it a "landslide" race since the gubernatorial hopeful is so far behind Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the polls. After that dustup, a handful of other Republican governors (Govs. Jindal, Rick Perry, Scott Walker and Mike Pence – also all on the long list of possible presidential candidates in 2016) pledged to support Astorino.
At the end of September, Perry headlined a party for Astorino, and this week, it's Jindal's turn. On Thursday evening, the Bayou State governor will be the main attraction at the Union League Club event, where $2,500 will snag you a photo and a spot at the VIP reception.
Jindal will then head to Connecticut on Friday for a fundraiser for Tom Foley, the Republican hoping to unseat Gov. Dannel Malloy. To underscore the heated nature of that race, the president will be heading up to the Nutmeg State earlier in the week — not for a fundraiser, however. On Wednesday, Obama will be headlining one of his trademark fire-'em-up rallies on behalf of Malloy.
PT's records show Jindal's appearance marks his 17th fundraiser appearance of the year, who said just last week that he is still "thinking and praying" about a future White House bid.
Party people, that's a wrap for the week! It's a busy one, but what did we miss and what have you heard about? Let us know!

Penney's strategy hitting more hurdles
J.C. Penney is hoping it has hit rock bottom.
The bad news keeps getting worse for the struggling department-store chain that on Friday reported a wider third-quarter loss than Wall Street expected on a 26 percent drop in revenue from a year ago. That marks the third consecutive quarter of big losses and sales declines as customers continue to show that they're unhappy with Penney's decision this year to ditch hundreds of coupons and annual sales in favor of so-called everyday low pricing.
The poor results underscore the challenges facing Penney's CEO Ron Johnson, the former Apple executive who was brought in a year ago to turn around the struggling retailer. Johnson, who masterminded Apple's popular retail stores, has been working to change everything at Penney's, from its stores to its merchandise.
Penney is starting to see some positive results from its makeover of stores with sectioned-off shops that feature different brands. The company said the reception has been warm to the 10 minishops that it rolled out this fall, including those for Levi's brand and Penney's new JCP line of casual clothes. But the continuing negative response to the company's pricing strategy has more than offset the boost.
Johnson has acknowledged for months that the plan has been more challenging than he expected. During an investor meeting, held on Friday in New York following the release of the third-quarter results, Johnson said he's still confident that the plan will work. However, he said he'd continue to make tweaks in order to ensure it will be successful.
"Job No. 1 is to return to growth next year. Let's make no mistake about it. This is a year where we said we are willing to let the sales drop to establish a new base for the new JCP," he said Friday. "We have to return to growth."
That's the same tone Johnson has maintained since he rolled out his ambitious plan to change the way people shop. On Feb. 1, Johnson's launched new pricing that was designed to wean customers off the markdowns they'd become accustomed to, but that ultimately eat into profits.
He got rid of the nearly 600 sales Penney offered at various times throughout the year for a three-tiered strategy that permanently lowered prices on all items in the store by 40 percent, offered monthlong deeper discounts on select items and periodic clearance events throughout the year. He also got rid of the word "sales" from the company's marketing and rolled out colorful ads that featured dogs and children.
Six months after he rolled out Penney's plan, Johnson tweaked pricing again. On Aug. 1 – just days before Penney posted another big loss on a second straight quarter of disappointing revenue – Johnson eliminated the monthlong sales.
He also brought back the word "clearance" to Penney's sales events and tweaked ads to better communicate the company's pricing. Rather than whimsical TV commercials with kids and pets, for instance, the new spots have focused more on the merchandise Penney has to offer.
Johnson on Friday said one big factor that dragged down the latest quarter's sales was the elimination of its monthlong discounts, which he says confused shoppers who like to compare prices.
So Johnson said on Friday that he'll tweak again. Penney won't be bringing back the monthlong sales, but it now will begin displaying on price tags the "suggested" price from clothing and other manufacturers along with Penney's "everyday" price.

Smoke causes evacuation of FrontRunner train
SALT LAKE CITY — The cabin of a FrontRunner train filled with smoke while it was bound for Salt Lake Central Station Saturday night, forcing the operator to stop the full train.
UTA spokesman Gerry Carpenter said the train was about four miles south of Murray Central Station when the cabin of the locomotive filled with smoke. The operator was instructed to stop the train and exit, allowing the smoke to clear.
No smoke was detected in passenger areas of the train and riders were allowed to stay on board, Carpenter said. When the operator was allowed to enter the train, he found no evidence of flames or fire damage.
"It appears to have been minor," he said. "There's no property damage to speak of."
Upon arriving at Salt Lake Central, passengers continuing north were transferred to a different train and the driver was evaluated by medical personnel.
"When you're carrying hundreds of people, you can't be too safe," Carpenter said.
Delays at Salt Lake Central lasted about 45 minutes, with residual delays continuing along the line. Passengers who had been evacuated from the train said UTA failed to provide an estimate of when a new train would arrive, leaving them standing in the cold for nearly an hour.
"We asked for an ETA for the next train so we could get some of these people out of the cold weather and they just wouldn't give it to us," said passenger Rick Maners before hurrying onto the arriving train. "It just kind of ticked me off."

DEFINITION of 'Deficiency'
A deficiency is the numerical difference between the amount of tax that a taxpayer, or taxpaying entity, reports on a tax return and the amount that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines is actually owed. The term only applies to shortfalls and not to surpluses. Taxpayers are notified of deficiencies via deficiency letters.
Deficiencies can easily become back taxes if prompt action is not taken by taxpayers. A notice of deficiency does not automatically equate to an audit or disciplinary action, but it should be taken seriously. Taxpayers can use the contact information provided on the deficiency letter to contact the IRS for further information.
BREAKING DOWN 'Deficiency'
A deficiency is located during internal audits levied by the IRS that compare the various forms that have been submitted. Entities that report taxpayer liabilities include banks, employers, and other businesses.
A deficiency is assessed when the amount or tax liability reported to the IRS by the taxpayer is less than the amount reported by third parties. Third party documents are an indication to the IRS that a form of income was received by the taxpayer.
Examples of Events that Result in a Deficiency
A deficiency results when a W-2 submitted by an employer is not reported as income by the taxpayer. As the IRS reviews the documentation provided by employers, items are compared to those reported by the taxpayer. If the IRS locates a W-2 supplied by an employer, but not reported by the employee, a deficiency is assessed.
Deficiencies are also assessed due to inconsistent data. This includes when reported income on the W-2 and that reported on tax documents, such as a 1040, don't match. Whether intentional or accidental, any additional liability is assessed as a deficiency. An official audit can also produce a deficiency. During an audit, the IRS will analyze all of the information and documentation as part of the particular tax year's return. If it is determined that additional taxes are owed, a deficiency results.
Addressing Notices of Deficiency
A form CP3219A, Notice of Deficiency, specifies the inconsistencies between the taxpayers reported tax liability and the liability assessed by the IRS. Once the document is received, the taxpayer must respond within 90 days on Form 5564, Notice of Deficiency – Waiver, if the taxpayer agrees that the deficiency indicated by the IRS is accurate. Should the taxpayer disagree with the assessment, they can choose to contest the deficiency. This requires contact with the IRS to officially begin the process.
Deficiency Due to Fraud or Identity Theft
If the deficiency is a result of fraud or identity theft, the taxpayer must report this information with the IRS. Fraud may result if an incorrect amount is intentionally listed by the employer on the taxpayer's W-2. Identity Theft may result if a person other than the taxpayer works while falsely claiming the taxpayer's name and social security number as their own. A taxpayer will not be made liable for income tax on income they did not themselves earn.

Weddings of the week
Originally from Scotland, Claire met her future hubby in London back in 2007 while he was exploring the world on his big OE.
The pair hit it off and eventually moved back to New Zealand to start a new life together.
Three years later Joel popped the question in a beautiful spot in Claire's native Scotland and they went on to celebrate two weddings - one in each of their home countries.
We can't get enough of their lovely wedding video (see below) - the rustic setting is utterly gorgeous.
We'll let Claire fill you in on the rest...
How did you meet? Joel and I met in London back in 2007 where Joel had just arrived to begin his OE. I had moved to London a few years earlier from Scotland and was on a night out with my flatmates. We spent the next two years in London before packing up and moving to New Zealand in 2009, travelling through South East Asia on the way.
Tell us about the proposal: Joel proposed, with a ring he had chosen himself, on a trip back to Scotland in 2012 at a beautiful hotel on the banks of Loch Tay in the Highlands.
Location of wedding: Being from opposite ends of the world, we were lucky enough to be able to have two weddings so all our families and friends could celebrate with us and some even celebrated twice, travelling to both. The first was in New Lanark in Scotland last October and the second at Whatipu Lodge, Auckland in February. Two very different weddings in very different parts countries.
Describe your wedding day: In contrast to our traditional Scottish wedding, our Whatipu wedding was a laid back, rustic, kiwi affair... think hay bales for seats, home-made picnic tables, hand sewn bunting, jandals and a bbq/spit buffet dinner that everyone lent a hand in making. We hired the Lodge and our friends and family came to stay for the weekend.
The dress: My dress was 'Aniston' by Maggie Sottero - a strapless, champagne, lace and tulle dress which I matched with a lace bolero, a vintage lace cuff and blue polka dot shoes!
The flowers: My mum did the flowers at both weddings - a simple yet beautiful mix of gypsophila with ivory and lemon roses.
Highlight of the wedding: It was a reunion of our best friends from around the world who we don't get to see often and who we got to spend the weekend with and not just a day.
Was there any drama? Yes! The night before we arrived gale force winds hit the west coast and our marquee did not survive! The weather was poor the next day too so the marquee company was reluctant to set up another, but fortunately on Saturday morning, hours before the ceremony, the sun came out and our marquee went up.
The honeymoon: No honeymoon as such - we had two weddings which isn't easy on the pocket, but we did stop off in Thailand on the way back from Scotland (with Joel's family which was brilliant fun and a much needed relaxing, warm break... but not exactly a honeymoon!) We're off to Fiji at the end of July so we're calling that our honeymoon!
Your photographer and favourite photo? My friend Caroline Fergusson (Fergusson Photography) took our Whatipu wedding photos and Laurie Gray Imaging did our Scotland shots. We have far too many for a favourite but we do love the group ones with all the guests cheering.
We had an absolutely brilliant wedding cinematographer, Neil Smith from Ticklyfeet who shot both weddings... travelling all the way from Amsterdam to do the second one. We love his work and even as a photographer myself, I have to say that these short films are just the best way to capture the story, spirit and emotion of the day. We've watched them over and over.
Check out Claire and Joel's Whatipu wedding below:

Raw Vegan Pop-Up in Detroit Looking to Expand
Monthly pop-up Chartreuse is seeking funds on Kickstarter for a lofty expansion into catering, cooking classes, and packaged foods.
Raw vegan personal chef and caterer Corinne Rice is seeking funds via Kickstarter to expand her Detroit, MI business Chartreuse. Her start-up venture currently consists of monthly pop-up dinners in historic and exciting venues in the city, serving dishes such as watermelon gazpacho, "crab" cakes with creole slaw and pico de gallo, and almond nougattine with vanilla and cherry marmalade. If funded, the $12,000 will help develop multiple business branches including catering for larger events, monthly brunches and wine and cheese tastings, "un-cooking" classes, and raw packaged foods. The money will be used to purchase kitchen equipment and other supplies, licenses and insurance, and packaging and event-hosting materials.

Tomahawk 0.7 Released – A Ultimate Social Music Player for Linux
Tomahawk is a ultimate, open source and next-generation cross platform social music player that allows you to access music stored on your hard-drive (as any self-respecting music player does), but it also taps a wide variety of music sources such as SoundCloud, Spotify, Youtube and other music subscription services to organize everything at one place. This fundamentally turns the entire internet into one music library. From there, you can share your playlists, search for media on a variety of services at once.
Tomahawk also connects you with the other computers and friends on the network to share, view and stream your music libraries/radio stations via Google Chat, Jabber and Twitter. So, basically you don't need to worry about going through other players or signing up for new things. It combines all varied music services and social networking in an easy to use, user-friendly interface.

NV Decommisioning at EDO Brighton (arms supplier to Israel) in Solidarity with the People of Gaza
international | anti-war / imperialism | other press Sunday January 18, 2009 15:59 by Solidarity Brighton, England
Anti-militarist activists entered the ITT/EDO MBM arms factory in Moulescombe, Brighton, England in the early hours of Saturda morning, January 17th. 09, where they are believed to have caused extensive damage to the offices, and to equipment used to make arms, including the 'zero retention force arming units' and 'ejector release unit 151' which the Smash EDO/ITT campaign says are supplied to the Israeli Air Force.
The campaign became aware of the action when they received a phone call from those inside the factory this morning who said that they were 'decommissioning' the factory in solidarity with the people of Gaza, who are currently at the receiving end of the factories products.

Vancouver Giants winger knows that as a smaller player he'll have to work harder to make it.
Ron Toigo thinks it's time the NHL rename its most valuable player, scoring champion and top defenceman awards after Gordie Howe, Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr. Howe died Friday morning in Toledo, Ohio. He had been battling health issues for several years, including a stroke in 2014. He was 88.
Ben Kuzma on the 1994-95 Memorial Cup champion Kamloops Blazers being inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame.
GM Glen Hanlon also says that assistant coaches, led by Tyler Kuntz, will be back with WHL club in 2016-17
New bench boss helped Spruce Grove to five Alberta finals in six seasons, with three banners to show for it.
Various media outlets are reporting that the Giants will name Jason McKee as their new head coach.
Jason McKee, Michael Dyck, Mark Holick and Brad Ralph among the names being tossed about in the rumour mill.
The WHL club next step is to hire a coach to replace Lorne Molleken.
Former Canucks goalie will now help WHL club hire new coach.
Marc Crawford, Mark Holick among those who have been linked lately to the jobs with the WHL club.
The Vancouver Giants, stuck in the basement of the Western Hockey League's Western Conference, have fired head coach Lorne Molleken in his first season running the club.
Jacques Plante, father of the goalie mask, was known to wander, Gary (Suitcase) Smith occasionally carried the puck to the centre red line and Ron Hextall became the first NHL netminder to score a 200-foot goal. But no puck stopper has roamed as far afield as Glen Hanlon.
Twenty-six years ago, Scott Bonner took a lunch break from work and never went back.
Scott Bonner, the only general manager the Vancouver Giants have ever had, is leaving the Western Hockey League team. The club announced Tuesday that Bonner has accepted a senior management position with The Sports Corporation, an Edmonton-based management agency that counts NHL stars Carey Price, Ryan Getzlaf and former Giant Milan Lucic among its clients.
CALGARY — While reporters crowded around two fuzzy-cheeked Vancouver Canucks about to make their National Hockey League debuts, eagerly seeking perspective from young players who have little, Adam Cracknell quietly went about preparing for the first opening-night game of his career. The 30-year-old from Victoria hadn't played on the NHL's first night until he dressed for the Canucks' opener Wednesday against the Calgary Flames.
The Vancouver Giants are like a frustrated home builder waiting for an inspection, a permit and the drywaller.
The Vancouver Giants battled back from a 2-0 deficit but fell to the Seattle Thunderbirds 3-2 in Western Hockey League action at the Pacific Coliseum on Sunday afternoon.
Claude Noel entered a foyer jammed with reporters on Monday and declared: 'Holy geez, guys, wrong league. What league am I in here?"
The Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League announced on Wednesday that Troy Ward has been relieved of his duties as head coach, effective immediately.
Don Hay has been through a mass of emotional moments the last six months and he figures to have another on Friday. Hay will be back at Pacific Coliseum for a Western Hockey League game but he'll be standing behind the visitors' bench, not the home team's. He is the Kamloops Blazers' coach again — it all started for him as a Blazer assistant in 1986 — while Troy Ward patrols his old beat with the Vancouver Giants.

Editorial Reviews
Communities everywhere are challenged by issues such as health, elder and child care, housing, education, food security and the environment. On the surface, these problems appear to be rooted in economic crisis-forexample budget cuts have triggered reduced public services, soaring food prices have created food security concerns, and the subprime mortgage disaster has spawned record increases in foreclosures and homelessness.
However if communities could match their unmet needs with their underutilized resources, many would find that while their economies may bestruggling when measured in traditional terms, they possess enough genuine wealth to allow all their inhabitants to enjoy a vastly improved quality of life. Creating Wealth demonstrates how a healthy society can beattained through developing new systems of exchange. Using creative initiatives such as time banks, systems of barter and exchange and local currencies, cities and towns can empower themselves and build vibrant, healthy, sustainable local economies.
In addition to presenting many compelling case studies of successful alternative currencies in action, Creating Wealth also explores the different types of capital that communities have to draw on, including natural, built, social, human, institutional, cultural, technological, and financial. This book will appeal to community activists, city planners and other public officials, and anyone interested in developing strong local economies.
