President Obama Returning To Los Angeles For Fundraiser At Gwyneth Paltrow's Home
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — President Barack Obama will be back in Los Angeles in October for a fundraiser at the home of actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
Tickets for the Oct. 9 event will cost up to $32,400, and the evening will include an intimate dinner with Obama fielding questions from supporters, according to an invitation sent by the Democratic National Committee.
The trip will be Obama's 20th to Los Angeles or Orange counties since he took office in 2009. All but three of his trips have included political fundraisers.
Obama was most recently in Los Angeles July 23-24, when he attended a pair of fundraisers, one at the Hancock Park home of television producer Shonda Rhimes, and another at the Brentwood home of Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino. He also spoke to about 2,000 people at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College about his successes in job creation.
The July event at Rapino's home was billed as "the last trip to Los Angeles the president will be making this year," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
