Fundraisers on video
American News Project journalist Harry Hanbury deserves some sort of award for his quest to go to every single congressional fundraiser held in Washington, DC in a single day. Check out this great video report in which he captures lobbyists, staffers, and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), one of the GOP’s biggest fundraisers, on tape. And we’re blushing that Hanbury relied on us truly to figure out where to party.
