3 major Democratic fundraisers to help raise money for potential Hillary Clinton run



Hillary Rodham Clinton may be far from making a decision about another presidential campaign, but three heavyweight Democratic fundraisers have signed on to help raise money for the cause.

Susie Tompkins Buell, a San Francisco philanthropist and co-founder of the Esprit clothing line, and Steve and Amber Mostyn, Houston trial lawyers who helped bankroll a super PAC that worked to reelect President Obama last year, are leading the fundraising efforts of a fledgling group called Ready for Hillary.

The pro-Clinton super PAC launched its National Finance Council on Tuesday, naming Buell and the Mostyns as founding members. Ready for Hillary, begun this year by Clinton supporters, is urging the former secretary of state and first lady to run for president in 2016 and is working to assemble a grass-roots coalition on her behalf.

“Ready for Hillary is the wisest investment right now for anyone who wants Hillary Clinton to be the next president,” Buell said in a statement. “Its founders are innovative and dedicated; they are building a massive grassroots movement of Hillary supporters across all 50 states to show Hillary how ready the nation is for her to be president.”

After Hillary was shoved aside the last time I hope the money is there to back her and the timing is right. Looking forward to following her campaign should she decide to run.
