Reid fundraising sweep in California
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who faces a tough re-election race back home in Nevada, will be doing a fundraising sweep through California mid-month.
First stop is a cocktail reception on Feb. 15 at the home of George and Judy Marcus in San Francisco. Marcus is the founder and chairman of the real estate giant Marcus & Millichap Company, as well as chairman of the Essex Property Trust, and is a generous donor to Democrats.
The next day, attorney Joseph M. Alioto, son of former San Francisco mayor Joseph L. Alioto, will be hosting a breakfast at the Fairmount hotel. He gave $28,500 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in the 2008 elections.
Last is a cocktail reception on Feb. 16 at the home of Bruce and Norah Broillet in Bel Air. Broillet is an attorney in Santa Monica, and was a bundler for John Edwards in his failed presidential bid. Broillet gave Reid a contribution of $2,000 in July.

I did not know George Marcus was married?
