Democratic VP candidate Tim Kaine to make Oklahoma stop for fundraiser

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, the Democratic nominee for vice president, is scheduled to attend a fundraiser next Friday in Oklahoma City that a supporter hopes will raise $500,000.

Tickets for the evening event start at $1,000. For $5,000 a donor gets a photo with the nominee; a $25,000 donor gets to be a co-chair of the event.

No public appearances have been announced.

Mike Turpen, an Oklahoma City attorney and a longtime fundraiser for Bill and Hillary Clinton, said Friday: “Oklahomans will embrace Sen. Tim Kaine because he is a genuine servant leader. He has been an elected official of courage and compassion while serving the people of Virginia as a mayor, governor and United States senator.”
