Many people in the Washington area are still recovering from last week’s election, but in Maryland Montgomery County Councilman George Leventhal is already looking ahead to 2014.

The at-large Democrat is throwing himself a 50th birthday party Monday that will double as a fundraiser for his campaign for Montgomery County Executive, Leventhal told The Washington Examiner. Admission to the party starts at $50, though the pre-party “VIP reception” runs $500 a ticket.
