Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz returning to Boston for more fundraising
The event will be held Sunday, a day after early voting begins in Massachusetts.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is returning to Boston this weekend for another fundraising event.
The Minnesota governor is set to headline a reception on Sunday afternoon, The Boston Globe reports. The exact time and location of the event are not public, but an invitation to the fundraiser obtained by the newspaper said it is hosted by Alan Solomont, the former US ambassador to Spain, and celebrity event planner Bryan Rafanelli, among others.
“This event will be an incredible opportunity to support the campaign as we get into the home stretch and to hear directly from Governor Walz about the Harris/Walz plan for a new way forward for our country,” the organizers said, according to The Globe.

It is not the Minnesota governor’s first time in Boston; he made an appearance at an August fundraiser at the Newbury Boston hotel and returned to give a speech at the 57th International Association of Fire Fighters Convention later in the month. According to the Globe, the Harris-Walz campaign raised more than $1.2 million at Walz’s last fundraiser in Boston.
Sunday’s event comes the day after early voting begins in Massachusetts. Tickets for the fundraiser start at $500 and get as high as $100,000 for a “chair,” according to the Globe.
