Members of Congress had planned dozens of fundraisers in the nation’s capital this week, but with Congress adjourning for recess after reaching a deal to raise the debt limit, many events have been put off.

Yet at least one lawmaker—Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif.—is sticking around town and will attend a Thursday campaign fundraiser.

Sherman isn’t going anywhere, campaign consultant Mike Fraioli said, especially since his wife, who lives in the area, is planning to have a baby in two days. His event attempts to raise between $500 and $5,000 per attendee.

That’s not the case for his colleagues. At least five fundraisers have been canceled or postponed. Many more may be delayed as well, but calls to other congressional offices and campaign consultants were not immediately returned on Tuesday. Still other consultants would not comment on the events.

Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, R-N.Y., who narrowly won her upstate New York seat last November, had landed Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, for a D.C. fundraiser today, but it’s been canceled, spokeswoman Liza Lowery said. Scheduling a big-name congressman for a fundraiser can sometimes take months, and the event was to attract as much as $5,000 per head.

A member of the GOP leadership, Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, was also supposed to raise money today—at a hip bar in Logan Circle—but that, too, was called off, a campaign consultant said. Conservative darling Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was set to help him attract large checks.

Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, along with three fellow Patton Boggs lobbyists, were ready to fete the chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, Dave Camp, R-Mich., on Thursday. Camp spokeswoman Megan Piwowar said, “The event is not happening.”

Events this week for two other legislators, Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., and James Renacci, R-Ohio, were also postponed, campaign consultants said.

The fundraisers that we are told are canceled or postponed are marked as such on each event’s page. If you know of other events being called off, please email partytime@sunlightfoundation.com.

Lobbyists representing health care interests  hosted at least two fundraisers today, bringing the week’s total to eight. (See also my post yesterday.)

Jocelyn Hong hosted her third fundraiser this week–this time for Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY).  Her clients include Sanofi-Aventis and Schering-Plough Corp.

Five lobbyists who represent the pharmaceuticals giant Roche were listed as hosting  a breakfast for Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) this morning. Hosts include Darin Gardner, Christine Pellerin, Anna Sagely, Matt Lapinski and Chris Myrick. (You can find Roche’s lobbying expenditures here). The government relations firm that is handling the event also lists Roche as a client.
