Sarah Palin's April visit to Minnesota will do more than benefit GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann's campaign. Minnesota Republican Party Chair Tony Sutton said Palin will also be raising money for the state party.

FEC reports show that a committee dubbed Minnesota - Bachmann Victory Committee was formed to raise money for Bachmann's congressional campaign and the MNGOP. When asked about the committee, Sutton said it was formed because Palin, the former governor of Alaska and John McCain's running mate in 2008, will hold a joint fundraiser for the MNGOP and Bachmann on April 7th.

Bachmann announced in January that Palin will campaign for her that day but didn't provide any other details. A spokesman for Bachmann didn't immediately provide information about the newly formed campaign committee.

These types of committees aren't unusual and are formed when big name fundraisers hold events for more than one group.

Yes, we need to maintain and increase the number of conservative women in the senate and congress.
