On Wednesday night, Vukmir was to hold a fundraiser at the offices of the National Mining Association. That event was to include McConnell and a host of other Republican senators including Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
A third fundraiser hosted by Washington lobbyists was scheduled for Thursday morning.
Vukmir campaign manager Jess Ward said she is fundraising in Washington “so our underdog campaign will have the resources necessary” to get out her message.
