Minnick Holds S.F. Fundraiser

The newly-released campaign finance reports show that Democrat Walt Minnick had a fundraising event in San Francisco, the home of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.  The event, held in late June, did not feature an appearance from Pelosi, who Republicans in Idaho have sought to tie to Minnick.  Campaign staffers say the event was a collection of private individuals and former business contacts of Minnick’s, while staffers for his opponent, Republican Raul Labrador, say the event was full of Pelosi supporters/D ustin Hurst , Idaho Reporter.

Question: Hmm. Is it wise for Minnick to stage a fund-raiser in San Francisco, with or without U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi … when the Republicans are dying to tie him to the House Speaker?
