Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will host a fundraising event in Minneapolis April 7 for U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who is seeking her third term in the House.
The event will include a private reception and photo opportunity at 4:30 p.m., a “general reception” at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6, all at the Minneapolis Hilton.
“Honorary hosts” for the event will be Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman and U.S. Reps. John Kline and Erik Paulsen.
A press release for the Bachmann event says “plans are also in the works” for a rally.
That week is turning into a Republicanapalooza in the Twin Cities: Two days after the Palin-Bachmann event, former Massachusetts Gov. (and 2012 presidential hopeful) Mitt Romney is speaking at an event in Bloomington sponsored by the Freedom Foundation of Minnesota — an event which Pawlenty also is scheduled to attend.
