The three-term Democrat will have a well-known colleague come to Florida to help him raise money to win a fourth. Minnesota’s Al Franken will join Nelson at the home of former Florida CFO and candidate for Governor Alex Sink on Saturday, November 18.
Franken, who has represented Minnesota in the Senate since 2009, is also well-known as a comic actor, writer and liberal political activist. It is appropriate the event will be held on Saturday since he was a longtime writer and performer on NBC’s Saturday Night Live.
Sen. Al Franken will be fundraising for Bill Nelson in Thonotosassa Nov. 18.
He has also hosted The Al Franken Show, a nationally syndicated, political radio talk show. Franken also is the author of six books, four of which were political satires blasting conservatives.
First elected in 2008 in a tight victory over incumbent Republican Norm Coleman — with a recount that lasted months — Franken won re-election in 2014.
Suggested donation to the event is $250; to co-host the reception is $1,000, $2,700 to host and $5,400 to chair.
