The District’s Republican Party is struggling to fix its sloppily planned annual fundraising dinner that has been jeopardized by a high entrance price, tickets printed with the wrong address and worries that it won’t make enough to pay for the Monday night shindig at the Ritz-Carlton.

“It will all work out,” said a confident Nick Jeffress, executive director of the District Republican Committee. In his new post for less than two months, he told Washington Secrets that despite earlier fears the dinner would be a bust, he now expects it to make a few thousand dollars. “We will make money on it,” he pledged.
