WESTPORT - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is coming to Connecticut to headline a fundraiser for Democrat Jim Himes, who is challenging Republican Congressman Chris Shays in Connecticut's 4th District.
Himes' campaign says the California Democrat will be attending the event at a private home in Westport on Sept. 13. Ticket prices start at $250 per person. People who raise at least $2,300 for Himes can also have brunch with Pelosi.
Himes is trying to unseat Shays, the long incumbent in the House district that represents southwestern Connecticut, in the November election.
