I know the Republican clubs have had functions, including Lincoln Day Dinners, but I do not recollect any fund raisers being held. There may have been some, but I don't remember any. The political rallies in the squares for the big names prior to the elections are a given, but I would suspect that the smaller stuff was authorized as functions of legitimate clubs and would be available to anyone who could show a need. Legally, it would have to be or TV management could be open to complaints to the Federal Election Commission. Fund raising is a different matter entirely.

And yes, the Developer is a big GOP supporter. He's a very intelligent man, so that seems natural.
