Patty Wetterling's campaign manager Corey Day says U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, will hold a fundraiser for Wetterling on August third. Wetterling, a DFLer, is running against Republican Michele Bachmann in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District. Bachmann brought in some high profile fundraisers of her own in the past month. They include Vice President Dick Cheney, White House political director Karl Rove and House Speaker Dennis Hastert.
Wetterling will also be in Washington on Thursday for the signing of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. The act will place stricter regulations on child sex offenders. Wetterling's son, Jacob, was abducted in 1989. He has never been found.
