Bill Clinton to host fundraiser for Shuler
RALEIGH–When former football star Heath Shuler displaced longtime congressman Charles Taylor as the 11th district’s representative in Washington, folks worried that the mountains would lose a seat on the big stage by sending a neophyte to replace the entrenched Taylor.
Fret no more.
Former Preseident Bill Clinton will host a $1,000 to $5,000-a-plate fundraiser for 11th District Rep. Heath Shuler later this month in Raleigh, reports the Raleigh News and Observer.
While the effort can be seen as a thank you for Shuler’s support of Hilary Clinton presidential run, it will also serve to ramp up talk about Shuler’s possible run for Richard Burr’s senate seat in the mid-term elections. He’s considered to be on the short list, along with Attorney General Roy Cooper.
Here’s the piece from the N&O.
