Another lawmaker on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., has put off a fundraiser until after the panel finishes its work.

But a spokesperson for the congressman would not answer whether he has nixed all such events through Thanksgiving, when the committee will finish its work. And no member of the committee—except Senator John Kerry, D-Mass.—has said he would cancel all of them. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, indicated he would cut back on his events and Max Baucus, D-Mont., canceled one of his.

Camp’s fundraiser, originally planned for Aug. 4 and to be hosted by former Senate Majority Leader-turned lobbyist Trent Lott, among others at the lobbying firm Patton Boggs, has not been rescheduled. And it will not take place until after the so-called super committee comes to a close, according to Camp’s spokesperson Megan Piwowar.

The event will likely be held in December, according to Camp’s fundraising consultant, Elaine Svigos.

Party Time asked Piwowar, over email, if the Michigan lawmaker would continue to hold fundraisers while the committee was working. Her response was:

“Since being named to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, Congressman Camp has not and will not schedule new fundraising events.”

But what about events that were already scheduled before his appointment to the committee on Aug. 10? After all, many fundraisers are booked months in advance, and fundraising consultants take advantage of the summer recess to book events for the fall. Camp had also planned a fundraiser on Sept. 7, the night before the super committee’s first organizational meeting, and there is no indication that it was postponed—only that it had been on the calendar before his appointment.

Senator Rob Portman, R-Ohio, in an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer last week, did not commit to canceling all of his events either. He told the paper, “Members aren’t going to have the time to be involved in (as many) events that they would have been. Personally, I’ve canceled a bunch of events.”

But that does not appear to include an event happening tonight, hours after the committee finishes its first hearing, Portman is the main draw to a fundraiser benefiting the campaign of Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio. And he still plans to be there, according to the event’s organizer.

“The latest I’ve heard, yes,” Chabot’s fundraising consultant Mackenzie Smith said this morning. Portman’s press secretary was not immediately available to confirm this.

Portman is among the nine lawmakers on the 12-member committee who are known to be holding or hosting events since being appointed to the committee.

*note: This post has been updated to reflect that John Kerry had announced he would not raise money while the committee meets.

Senate veteran Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wasn’t supposed to be in a tight race. He’s an old pro who has raised far more money than his opponent, Democrat Bruce Lunsford. But now polls are tightening a bit, and even the conservative National Review says he “is in a much closer race than Republicans would like to admit.” (“Pushing 60,” National Review, Nov. 3, 2008, subscription required.)

As befitting a fundraising pro–McConnell served as the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee in the late 1990s–our Party Time database shows that the senator spends a lot of his time partying for others. We’ve got 21 invitations on file where he has been mentioned as a draw to get donors to attend an event for GOP senators and candidates. Last month alone, he got a half dozen mentions on fundraising invitations. These included parties for Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) , Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) , Sen. John Sununu (R-NH), would-be senator Bob Schaffer from Colorado and Rep. Steve Pearce, who is running for Senate in Arizona. (It should be noted that a number of other senators are also mentioned on these invitations.)

McConnell was also mentioned on an unusual invitation–a September party honoring not lawmakers themselves, but rather their chiefs of staff.  While the staffers may have gotten the kudos, however, the checks went to their bosses via a special joint fundraising committee, the “Special Teams 2008 Committee, established by the National Republican Senatorial Committee and a long list of state GOP committees-Alaska, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Oregon.

We also have two parties on file that benefit McConnell’s own campaign committee. One party, scheduled in April, was hosted by the U.S. Chamber PAC.  The other was a March party at the lobbying firm Patton Boggs hosted by partners  Ben Ginsberg, Ed Newberry , Darryl Nirenberg, and Kevin O’Neill.

What about McConnell’s opponent, Bruce Lunsford? We have only one invitation for him on file, a July party at the home of Heather and Tony Podesta, the powerful Democratic lobbyist couple. (See this blog post from the Wall Street Journal’s Brody Mullins on Heather’s novel protest of Sen. Barack Obama’s reign-in-the-lobbyists stance. )

As always, we must caution that this doesn’t mean that Lunsford didn’t have more fundraising parties; he must have. And McConnell certainly had more, too. Here at Party Time, we tell you what we know based on what our anonymous sources have sent us. We’d love more submissions, because the more we know-the more you know.
