Mayor Rudy Giuliani returns today to the Silicon Valley for a fundraising breakfast.
Following a successful fundraising event yesterday evening that was reported to have raised over $700,000, the Mayor travels north today to woo high tech conservatives.
Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani is making an aggressive play for conservative backers in California — courting their endorsements and collecting their campaign checks in a strategy that political observers say could have a big payoff in the nation’s most populous state.
And with strong support from Floyd Kvamme — one of President Bush’s top high-tech advisers and a founder of the Technology Network advocacy group — Giuliani will return to Silicon Valley today to star at a fundraising breakfast aimed at introducing him to influential conservatives in the business and high-tech community.
California is “IN PLAY” and expect the Mayor to raise funds as well as actively stump for votes – something that California has not seen since 1960.
