Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly planning to host a hight-profile fundraiser for South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) next month in Los Angeles.
According to Variety, the fundraisers’ organizers are Gwyneth Paltrow and Bradley Whitford, and ticket prices will start at $250.
That’s not all the fundraising Buttigieg will be doing in Hollywood.
This report comes after news broke earlier this week that the Indiana Democrat, who is gay, will be doing events with the “potent gay power players” of Hollywood to raise money for 2020 this summer.
Most of the 2020 Democratic contenders, much like their predecessors in 2016, are certainly open to taking big checks from the entertainment industry. In the first quarter of 2019, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) accepted donations from celebrities like Wanda Sykes, Ben Affleck, and Lee Daniels.
Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also accepted money from Danny DeVito and Susan Sarandon.
