First Lady Jill Biden to return to Seattle as part of a West Coast fundraising swing

First Lady Jill Biden will be back in the Emer­ald City this Thurs­day and Fri­day to raise mon­ey at two cam­paign recep­tions for the Biden Vic­to­ry Fund and vis­it the Fred Hutchin­son Can­cer Cen­ter, the White House announced today.

The Seat­tle stopover will be the first part of a two-leg West coast fundrais­ing swing that will also include events in Los Ange­les and San Diego, California.

The Biden Vic­to­ry Fund is a joint fundrais­ing com­mit­tee autho­rized by Biden for Pres­i­dent, the Demo­c­ra­t­ic Nation­al Com­mit­tee and the state Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ties in all fifty states plus the Dis­trict of Colum­bia. Under fed­er­al law, the com­mit­tee is able to accept con­tri­bu­tions of up to $929,600 from a per­son and $415,000 from a mul­ti­can­di­date com­mit­tee. Con­tri­bu­tions received by the com­mit­tee from major Demo­c­ra­t­ic donors are dis­trib­uted as follows:

• The first $6,600/$10,000 from a person/PAC will be allo­cat­ed to Biden for Pres­i­dent, with the first $3,300/$5,000 des­ig­nat­ed for the pri­ma­ry and the next $3,300/$5,000 for the gen­er­al election.
• The next $41,300/$15,000 from a person/PAC will be allo­cat­ed to the DNC.
• The next $510,000/$255,000 from a person/PAC will be split equal­ly among the Demo­c­ra­t­ic state parties.

First Lady Jill Biden has made sev­er­al trips to Seat­tle since the begin­ning of her hus­band’s pres­i­den­cy, includ­ing one last Octo­ber before the midterms. One of the projects she has been heav­i­ly involved in and trav­eled to Wash­ing­ton to sup­port is Join­ing Forces, “a White House ini­tia­tive to sup­port mil­i­tary fam­i­lies, which includes: fam­i­lies of ser­vice mem­bers and vet­er­ans, care­givers and survivors.”

This trip will sup­port the admin­is­tra­tion’s Uni­ty Agen­da and Can­cer Moonshot.

Here’s the itin­er­ary released by the White House:
