Hat tip to Sunlight’s Nisha Thompson, who alerted us to a couple of local blogs that have made good use of Party Time this week:
The Progressive Pulse reports here on how Reps. Patrick McHenry and Heath Shuler have been feted by lobbyist Tim Rupli.
Irregular Times does a nice round up of parties here.
When we come across examples like these, we’ll link to them here on the blog.
Beneficiary: congressional candidate, lawmaker, or entity which collects funds raised at party
Host: person who is hosting party-often, but not always, a registered federal lobbyist
Venue Name: where the party is
Entertainment Type: type of gathering, such as "breakfast," "ski trip," "bowling"
Other Lawmakers Mentioned: lawmakers mentioned on invitation who are used as a draw for the event
Sunlight's Party Time is a project to track parties for members of Congress or congressional candidates that happen all year round in Washington, D.C. and beyond. (read more)
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.
