Frist to help Lt. Gov. Steele raise funds

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist will help Lt. Gov. Michael Steele raise funds for his U.S. Senate campaign at a private home in Montgomery County tonight.

The Steele campaign had not announced the Frist visit to the $500-a-head fundraiser in Ashton, unlike a fundraising appearance for Steele last Friday by Sen. John McCain. Democrats suggested Steele was trying to hide Frist?s support.
