Presidential hopeful O’Malley sets Ann Arbor fundraiser.

Lansing — Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley plans to hold a fundraiser in Ann Arbor next month during the former Maryland governor’s first campaign visit to Michigan.

O’Malley will join supporters of his bid for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination Aug. 12 at the Arbor Brewing Company’s downtown Ann Arbor brewery, campaign spokeswoman Haley Morris said Wednesday.

The O’Malley campaign is seeking $250 donations from donors, $50 from young professionals and $30 from students to attend the “Happy Hour” with the former two-term governor, according to a fundraiser invitation.

Supporters who donate $500 can be hosts for the fundraiser and $1,000 donors can chair the event, according to the invitation, which was posted on O’Malley’s Facebook page.

He had real success with his young DC fundraiser and hope he can replicate it in other parts of the country.

There was a snarky article from Buzz Feed about it, but even the author had to admit how open the candidate and his campaign staff were to answer any questions even by ones who were clearly there just to cause disruptions.

May use some of this to jazz things up here, like this: 'He also showcased the endurance and patience that have defined his underdog presidential campaign so far.'
