Bill Clinton Schedules Bay Area Fund-Raising Visit

Bill Clinton will visit Silicon Valley later this month on a fund-raising trip for his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The former president is scheduled to appear at an evening reception at the Hillsborough home of U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier on Monday, Jan. 25, followed by a breakfast on Jan. 26 hosted by investment banker Sandy Robertson and his wife, Jeanne, in San Francisco.

The Hillary for America events fetch $2,700 for a photo with the former two-term president or $1,000 to attend the “intimate” gathering. Hillary Clinton has visited the Bay Area several times, seeking support for her campaign — most recently earlier this month.

To appreciate how effective the Clintons are at fund-raising, check out this investigation of their carefully cultivated donor network by the Washington Post.
