Bothell Times:
President Bush is scheduled to visit Bellevue Aug. 27 for a top-dollar fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert's re-election campaign.
An e-mailed invitation states the event at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue includes a VIP reception that will cost $10,000 — given or raised — and a general reception with a $1,000 admission price.
Any donation that exceeds the $2,300-per-election amount that Reichert can collect under federal campaign finance rules will go to the state Republican Party.
The fundraiser will be the first high-profile event of the re-election campaign for Reichert, R-Auburn.
During the 2006 campaign, Democrats made much of Reichert's ties to the president, including a June Bush fundraiser that year for the congressman.
