First lady to fundraise with HBO exec

[Geee]

The Hill:

First lady Michelle Obama will headline a fundraiser next week at the Los Angeles home of HBO’s president of programming, Michael Lombardo, according to a report Wednesday in the Hollywood Reporter.

 

Lombardo, a longtime Obama fundraiser, was named by the president to the board of trustees at the Kennedy Center. In 2012, Lombardo hosted a similar event for President Obama’s reelection campaign at his home.

 

The White House has increasingly leaned on Hollywood to raise cash ahead of the November midterm elections, with Democrats scrambling to retain control of the Senate.
