Lansing Democratic presidential candidate Martin OMalley plans to hold a fundraiser in Ann Arbor next month during the former Maryland governors first campaign visit to Michigan.
OMalley will join supporters of his bid for the Democratic Partys presidential nomination Aug. 12 at the Arbor Brewing Companys downtown Ann Arbor brewery, campaign spokeswoman Haley Morris said Wednesday.
The OMalley 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 OMalleys Facebook page.
