Obama to appear at Democratic redistricting fundraiser
WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama will appear at a Democratic fundraiser in the nation’s capital later this week, one of the first times he has appeared on behalf of party causes since leaving the White House.
Obama will appear at a fundraiser for the National Democratic Redistricting Committee at a private residence in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
“Restoring fairness to our democracy by advocating for fairer, more inclusive district maps around the country is a priority for President Obama,” spokesman Kevin Lewis said Monday.
Before he left the White House, Obama said that redistricting will be a top political priority in his post-presidency and admitted he failed to create a “sustaining organization” around the political coalition that twice elected him to office.
