Florida Sen. Marco Rubio To Speak At Roundtable Discussion In Newport Beach
NEWPORT BEACH (CBSLA.com) — Prospective Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio will continue his fundraising swing through Southern California Wednesday with a $2,600 "intimate roundtable" in Newport Beach.
The junior senator from Florida will hold what organizers are billing as a "key discussion of the new senatorial leadership and how it will impact America."
Attendees will receive a signed copy of Rubio's recently published book "American Dreams: Restoring Economic Opportunity For Everyone."
Proceeds will benefit the Rubio Victory Committee, a joint fundraising committee composed of Marco Rubio for Senate and Reclaim America Political Action Committee, which he formed in an effort to have more conservatives elected to the Senate.
Following the roundtable, Rubio will speak at a Lincoln Club luncheon in Newport Beach, discussing the Republican-controlled Senate's agenda and such issues as Cuba and immigration, according to organizer Seth Morrison.
On Tuesday, Rubio took to Facebook to unveil the latest element from what he described as his playbook "to help reclaim America," passing legislation to allow construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would deliver tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
Rubio also attended fundraisers Tuesday in Costa Mesa and La Jolla and was scheduled to attend another one Thursday, in Beverly Hills.
