Former President Barack Obama will reportedly headline a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser in Northern California later this month.
The former president will appear alongside House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., at the June 29 event, which will be hosted by Liz Simons and Mark Heising at their house in Atherton, Calif., according to Politico.
“I am delighted and honored to have President Obama back in my congressional district later this month,” Eshoo said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “We miss him.”
Tickets to the fundraiser start at $10,000.
Donors who contribute $237,300 per couple will receive a VIP clutch and photo opportunity. Additionally, they’ll land preferred seating at the event and invitations to an annual weekend in Napa Valley hosted by Pelosi and an issues conference in August, according to Politico.
The DCCC fundraiser will be held the day after Obama appears at the Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Los Angeles on June 28, Politico reported.
Tickets to that event range from $2,700 to $100,000.
Obama is popular among Democratic voters in California, and his events there come as the party seeks to take back control of the House and Senate in the 2018 midterm elections.
The former president helped raise money for the DNC last year with a fundraiser in Washington, D.C., and has endorsed several Democrats running in the upcoming elections, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
Obama has weighed in on multiple political issues throughout the Trump presidency.
Most recently, he criticized President Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal, which was negotiated and agreed to during on his watch.
He has also expressed his support for young Americans urging Congress to pass stricter gun laws, a movement that started after the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
That could change though, as a spokeswoman for the former president said at the start of the year Obama plans to ramp up his campaigning and endorsements leading into the 2018 midterm elections.
