Although the congressional supercommittee failed to reach an agreement to slash the nation’s deficit, every single member of the 12-person panel was able to accomplish something else this fall: raise money for their own campaigns or for other candidates and committees. Collectively, the dozen members took part in 55 fundraisers, according to a mix of Party Time’s invitations and other news reports.

That includes 24 fundraisers for their own campaigns or leadership PACs—funds they use to spread their influence—and 31 events where they served as special guests to help their colleagues or party committees attract campaign cash. All of these events were scheduled since their appointment to the panel in early August.

With a total of 19 events, Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., the House Democrats’ Assistant Majority Leader, has been involved in the most fundraisers. Clyburn also led the pack with ten fundraisers benefiting his campaign or leadership fund, while Pat Toomey, R-Pa., held five such events and Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., held four.

Clyburn also hosted the most shindigs—nine of them—followed by Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Becerra, who hosted four each.

Below is table showing the number of fundraisers panel members were involved in, organized by each lawmaker (and here’s a complete calendar of events).

Fundraisers during supercommittee tenure

There are also plenty of fundraisers for the committee members right around the corner. Becerra is the special guest at three gatherings in the first six days of December. Jon Kyl and Jeb Hensarling are the main draws at two separate events for their colleagues. And Clyburn is taking part in a holiday party on Dec. 1 raising money for Democratic “Frontline” candidates.

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.

Another member of Congress who is on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, or Super Committee, will be hosting a fundraiser as the group begins its formal work.

GOP senator Rob Portman, R-Ohio, a Senate freshman who is experienced with budget issues, is headlining a fundraiser on Sept. 13 for Congressman Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, according to a newly released invitation.

The evening reception asks PACs to ‘host’ the event for $2,500 or attend for $1,000. Individuals can participate for $500. The reception is being held at Capitol Hill’s high-class Johnny’s Half Shell, a seafood restaurant where the Maryland crab cakes go for $32.

That makes Portman the third Republican on the 12-member committee known to be hosting or holding a fundraiser in the coming weeks, just as many lobbyists will be looking for creative ways to catch their ears. Five of the six committee Democrats plan to be involved in fundraisers, Party Time’s invitations show. [Click here for a complete list of events on our new Super Committee page].

Lobbyists who have helped Portman, a former congressman and White House budget director under President George W. Bush, bring in cash before may have an easier time getting his attention. A slew of K street insiders planned a ‘Chili Fest’ for him in July.

That group includes Washington representatives of corporate lobbying heavyweights Ford, UPS, and Citibank, represented by Ziad Ojakli, also a former Bush aide, Sheryl Bonilla and Robert Schellhas, respectively. Schellhas, a principal at Washington Council Ernst & Young, was also Portman’s one-time chief of staff and a former staffer of another super committee member, Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich.

Portman’s other lobbyist hosts included Thomas Scully of Alston & Bird, who was the administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services under President Bush and now represents a long list of health care clients.

Nick Calio, an influential K Street veteran and former Bush legislative affairs director who now heads the Air Transport Association of America, also hosted the event.

When it was announced that he would join the ATAA last year, Calio told Politico he wanted to bolster the group’s PAC. He said:

“You’ve got to be part of the political process and contributions and political support are part of the political process,” he said. “When you have people who consistently support you on policy issues, they expect you to be part of their political life support system. It’s just that simple.”

Sen. John Cornyn was scheduled as a “special guest” at a November 20 fundraiser for Rob Portman, also featuring former Secretary of State George Schultz. The day before he was listed at another Portman event, a dinner, featuring another former Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice.

Portman is running for an open seat in Ohio; Cornyn, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has previously pledged that the NRSC would not spend money in contested primaries or open seat race. However, as we blogged earlier, Cornyn also showed up on a fundraiser for Arkansas Senate candidate Gilbert Baker, scheduled for Nov. 19–the same day as one of the Portman fundraisers. At the time, a spokesman said he was participating as a senator rather than as chairman of the committee.
