Susan Davis Seeks Holiday Funds

The holiday season presents an excuse for politicians to stage fund-raising parties. On Tuesday of this week, San Diego Democratic congresswoman Susan Davis was to hold a home-cooked omelet event at her house on E Street in Washington, D.C. The tab: $5000 host, $2500 sponsor, $1000 individual. Davis is said to need the money more than ever these days after she discovered funds missing and her campaign treasurer, Kinde Durkee, was busted for allegedly embezzling from a host of candidates and campaign funds.
