Sweating Out Contributions
Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) will be hosting a Spa Afternoon at the W Hotel in DC later today.
According to the invitation, guests have a fair shot at getting their money’s worth. $500 to attend or $1,500 for PAC hosts will land guests upwards of three hours at the Bliss Spa where massage packages range from $70 for a 30 minute rapid rub™ to $235 for a 105 minute “deep tissue treatment.” (See a full spa menu on Bliss’ terrible incredible pun-filled website here).
While many golf outings are billed as “golf and spa weekend” packages, today’s fundraiser is unique in that Granger is ditching the golf aspect entirely. The event is one of only two spa-only functions in the Party Time database.
Reps. Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO) and Sue Myrick (R-NC) are also listed as guests on the invitation. Emerson is the only other member of Congress in our database to host a spa-only event.

We also post information we receive about parties where members of Congress are expected to participate—such as convention or inaugural parties.
Since we don't hear about all the parties, you can also tell us if you know where the party is and we don't.
