I just heard from Don Vaughan that North Carolina’s Senate Democratic Caucus Committee will hold a fundraiser at his house in Greensboro on Oct. 15.
The guest of honor will be U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, Vaughan said. Hagan spent 10 years as a state senator before winning election to the U.S. Congress in November 2008. Vaughan now serves in the seat that Hagan held.
The senate caucus committee is the money that helps Democrats run for Senate seats throughout the state. That money could be all the more important next year if Dems find themselves in a dogfight or two defending some of their 30 seats.
