Levy to Mar-A-Lago for fundraiser. Top ducat goes for $25,000. Sliding scale begins at $1k.

Republican Senate nominee Leora Levy will never be a United States Senator from Connecticut, but her campaign will make one dream come true. The Greenwich Republican will hold a campaign fundraiser at Mar-A-Lago on October 18th.

Tickets for the joint event with the National Republican Senatorial Committee range from $1,000 to $25,000. That top contribution gets the donor a photograph with the manager and maitre ‘d of the club.

Levy, who made a splash in the party primary by opposing women’s access to abortions, received a boost with an endorsement by phone a few days before Republicans went to the polls. Levy has not harvested many $2,900 maximum contributions to her campaign, but she did receive one from Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski.

Levy has made loans to her campaign and also paid some back to herself with supporters’ contributions. Levy’s post-primary fundraising has been thin. She was excluded from a September Florida fundraising tour of Florida by the party’s top prospects.

The retired commodities trader has stood out by highlighting the blessings of freedom she has enjoyed in the United States as a refugee from the island prison of Cuba while revealing herself as a shrill opponent of bestowing them on others fleeing despotism.
