Harvard professor and Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is scheduled to have a joint fundraiser with Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., on Monday in Philadelphia at the Hyatt at Bellevue. Tickets to the luncheon reception start at $250 for individuals to $10,000 for PACs.

Top Democratic donor Peter Buttenwieser is hosting this event. According to the Huffington Post, Buttenwieser wrote on the invitation, ”I feel honored to have two such bright, principled, exceptional women join us on November 21st. It means a lot to our community. It will ‘grow’ us.”

According to the Federal Election Commission documents, Warren and Baldwin set up a  joint fundraising committee called the Massachusetts Wisconsin Victory Fund in late September.

Showing that she is  the “New Sheriff of Wall Street”, Warren is also having a joint fundraiser with Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., on Dec. 9 called the “Fighting for Main Street over Wall Street” in Seattle. The Warren-Cantwell event is scheduled to feature a $1,250-per-person “intimate” luncheon at Seattle’s Columbia Tower Club as well as an evening reception at The Paramount Theatre for $40 per person.  The fundraiser is from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

According the Boston Globe, the money raised on this night will be split between Warren and Cantwell.

Both Warren and Cantwell have been proponents of regulatory reform of Wall Street. Warren, a financial expert oversaw the 2008 bank bailout and helped establish the newly created Consumer Finance Protection Bureau earlier this year. Cantwell has fought for reform over almost over a decade and voted against the bank bailouts.

Warren also had a fundraising reception on Oct. 19 in New York City’s Upper East Side at the house of Karen Mehiel. Mehiel is the wife of Westchester businessman and former candidate for lieutenant governor, Dennis Mehiel.  According to the New York Observer, investor and philanthropists George Soros and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman were scheduled to attend.

Even though Warren has not won the primary to go against Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., in November, she is highly favored going against the five other Democratic candidates.

Not to be overshadowed, Sen. Scott Brown is also busy fundraising. On Nov. 17, Brown is schedule to attend a luncheon hosted by Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala. Tickets for this event are priced at $2,500 – $1,000 for PACs and $1,000-$500 per person. Also, according to Party Time records, Brown had three fundraisers in October. One was a Self-guided Museum Tour and Reception at the National Museum of Crime & Punishment on Oct. 11, a breakfast event with special guest Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Oct. 12 and a dinner on Oct. 19. Brown also had a birthday lunch on Sept. 15.

As this highly watched race gains momentum, Warren has raised $3.15 million during the third quarter, while Brown as raised $1.55 million and $10 million in his campaign account.

Since the beginning of 2010 through April, at least ten senators who sit on the Banking and Agriculture Committees are listed as beneficiaries of fundraisers hosted by lobbyists who have pressed Congress on financial reform issues. Both committees have recently worked on a bill to overhaul the financial regulatory system, which will likely be debated on the Senate floor next week.

According to Sunlight Foundation’s Party Time database, the fundraisers ranged from a “pre-St.Patrick’s Day” reception for Banking Committee member Jon Tester, D-Mont., on March 16 that asked for $100 to $1,000 in contributions, to a breakfast for Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, of the Agriculture Committee on March 10 that asked for contributions ranging from $500 to $2,000. Grassley’s breakfast also featured special guest, Banking Committee member Robert Bennett, R-Utah.

Tester’s fundraiser was hosted by 28 people, at least two of whom have disclosed lobbying on financial reform this year: Mitchell Feuer who represents Goldman Sachs, the Citigroup Management Corporation, Barclays PLC, Genworth Financial, Visa U.S.A., the Appraisal Institute, FX Alliance LLC, the Farm Credit Council and the LCH.Clearnet Group, and Thompson Reuters; and Shannon Finley who represents the Edison Electric Institute, Rent A Center and the Home Depot.

The Grassley breakfast was hosted by two JP Morgan Chase & Co. lobbyists, Nathan Gatten and Steve Patterson. Both were listed on a lobbying disclosure form for the first quarter of 2010; the company reported spending $1.5 million to raise issues on Capitol Hill related to credit card transaction fees, the modification of home mortgage loans, the regulatory oversight of bonds, short-selling practices, and use of derivatives to hedge risk.

In addition to raising money for the beneficiaries, the lobbyists hosting the events also had a chance for face time with other influential lawmakers. In fact, at a fundraiser today, three powerful members of the agriculture committee–Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa., are listed as honorary hosts of a noon fundraiser for the Sen. George LeMieux’s, R-Fla, Protect America’s Future Political Action Committee.

The event also includes two hosts: Scott Reed who represents the Ben Barnes Group, a Texas state lobbying shop run by an individual who the Sunlight Reporting Group previously identified as the nation’s largest donor and bundler of campaign contributions at the federal level, and Kirsten Chadwick who represents the American Insurance Association, the Ford Motor Company, Mutual of Omaha, the Retail Industry Leaders Association, the Business Roundtable, and UnitedHealth Group. Both Reed and Chadwick, who was once a special assistant to President George W. Bush, have lobbied Congress in the first quarter of 2010 on financial reform issues.

The invitation to LeMieux’s fundraiser asks for a contribution of $2,500 for a PAC host, $1,000 for an individual host, $1,000 for a PAC and $250 for an individual for the “reception-style luncheon” at the National Republican Senatorial Committee to raise money for the PAC which “supports candidates who embody the values of fiscal conservatism, smaller government and strong national security.”

We contacted Sens. McConnell, Cornyn, and Grassley for comment. Sen. Cornyn’s spokesman said that the lunch was a National Republican Senatorial Committee event and referred us to that office for a comment. The spokesperson did add that the senator was in a budget mark up all day and that it was unclear if he would be present at the event.

Asked for comment about the nature of Grassley’s attendance at the fundraiser, Jill Kozeny, Sen. Grassley’s Communications Director, said “Senator Grassley attends events, like this one, to raise campaign funds for Republicans. His participation is transparent. For himself, he accepts donations that are legal and have no strings attached.”

We also staked out the building where the fundraiser was held, but didn’t see any of the senators come in or out. Some members of Congress have canceled fundraisers hosted by financial industry lobbyists and firms.

Here’s how you can do what we did to find out if your lawmaker has met with lobbyists working on financial reform:

1. Search the Party Time database for your lawmaker for any recent invitations in 2010.

2. Open the PDF of the invitation and see if any “hosts” or “co-hosts” are listed. Not all hosts are registered lobbyists, but an awful lot are.

3. Search the House Lobbying Disclosure database for names that could be lobbyists. We used the tiered search to better refine what we were looking for. First we selected “Lobbyist Name” and typed in the names we were looking for (you have to enter them Last Name, First Name). In the second search bar we selected “Filing Year” 2010 and in the third search bar we selected “Issue Code” Banking. We’ll follow up with more searches in the days to come.

Unfortunately invitations in the Party Time database only represent a portion of the fundraising events that take place in Washington D.C. The database consists largely of events sent to us by anonymous sources, where we then strip off all possible identifying information. If you know of a fundraiser in D.C. or in your state, please consider uploading it to our anonymous upload system.

Senators Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Jim Risch (R-ID) have more in common than a love for their home state. The Idahoan Senators, who have been friends since serving in the state legislature together, both love trapshooting, flyfishing, and even sharing donors.  The longtime friends will be hosting fundraisers in Sun valley and Picabo on August 18th complete with shuttles and coordinated schedules.

Crapo’s “Hook ‘N Bullet” event kicks off at 5:30pm (pricetag: $2,500) with a reception in Ketchum where donors can sign up for horseback riding and fly fishing. Once guests have finished their orientation the party will move to the Dollar Mountain Lodge where they can partake in Risch’s second annual “Rocky Mountain Oyster Feed and Steak BBQ” (pricetag: $250-$1000).

Shuttles will be leaving Ketchum throughout the next day to whisk guests off for fly fishing on the Big Wood River, horseback riding and trap shooting at Silver Springs Ranch, and finally, the Hook ‘n Bullet Western Barbeque at 7:00pm.

Crapo showed his support for Risch for his 2008 race in the old fashioned way, by contributing the maximum of $10,000 via his leadership PAC, the Freedom Fund.

The two senators also shared several big-name corporate PAC and individual donors.  However, of the roughly 2,250 individual contributions to Risch, Crapo and Crapo’s leadership PAC in 2008, there were only a handful of out-of-state individuals who made multiple contributions of at least $1,000 to both Risch and Crapo.

Of note, former Shelby aide Lendell Porterfield–who represents the likes of Kynikos, Prudential and the American Bankers Association (Crapo happens to sit on the Finance and Banking Committees) and former Crapo chief of staff William Hollier. According to CRP data Porterfield contributed $10,600 to Risch, Crapo and Crapo’s PAC in 2008 alone.

Hollier, who has lobbied extensively on behalf of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde (disclosure reports ranging from 2005 to 2009 are available here), contributed at least $4,000 to the two Idahoans in 2008 as well.  The CTGR, who spent roughly $590,000 on lobbying from 2006-2009, have been trying to build a racetrack somewhere in the northwest dating as far back as 2004 (Crapo also happens to sit on the Indian Affairs Committee).
