DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) —Two fundraisers are being held for Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina in Dallas Monday.
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO will attend a luncheon at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, and Sandy and Roger Dorf will play host to Fiorina Monday evening at the Residences at the Ritz-Carlton. She will not speak with reporters or hold any public events while here in North Texas.
On Sunday, Fiorina wasn't injured when drapes and poles in a San Antonio hotel ballroom fell over as she was addressing the National Women's Business Conference.
Fiorina's trip to the Lone Star State comes as her popularity continues to rise.
In the Real Clear Politics average of national polls, Fiorina has jumped to third place behind billionaire Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. The most recent poll in Iowa, the first caucus state, also shows Fiorina in third place behind Trump and Carson. While the most recent poll in New Hampshire, the first primary state, shows Fiorina in second place behind Trump.
Her support has climbed sharply after she received positive reviews during the second debate.
After her visit to Dallas, Fiorina is scheduled to attend a Town Hall with the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association in Oklahoma City Tuesday afternoon.
