Big Guns Raise Money for Markey

In the first sign that Democrats “are preparing to pull out the party’s big financial guns” for U.S. Senate nominee Ed Markey (D-MA), Michelle Obama “is scheduled to appear at a Boston fund-raiser for the Malden congressman later this month, an event that can collect up to $37,600 from an individual donor,” the Boston Globe reports.

President Obama is also likely “to make an appearance in Massachusetts for Markey before the June 25 election if the campaign requests his help.”
