WI-SEN: GOP Candidate Holds Event for 'Above Average People'

[RandySF]

An invite that appeared to have been sent from the campaign of Wisconsin state Sen. Leah Vukmir (R), who's running against incumbent U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D), promoted a fundraising event for "above average people."

For $500, attendees are invited to "relax amongst other above average people while enjoying hors d'oeuvres and refreshments" on Sept. 5.

It was not immediately clear what was meant by "above average people" in the flyer. Vukmir's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the invitation.

The flyer noted that those donating $2,700 per couple would be invited to a "slow cruise around Upper Nemahbin Lake with Leah," while those donating $5,400 per couple would also get a "uniquely patriotic photo opportunity, with God willing, our next U.S. Senator, Leah."

The flyer also said it had been "Paid for by Leah for Senate", while linking to her campaign page.
