Utah Republican Mitt Romney hasn’t yet been sworn in to the Senate, but he’s already flexing his fundraising muscle.
The senator-elect is hosting a donor event Tuesday evening in Washington for Believe in America PAC, his newly formed political action committee, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO. The fundraiser will be the PAC’s first.
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, will be no ordinary freshman senator. He is expected to use his national profile and formidable fundraising network to collect chits and help elect Republicans across the country. Believe in America PAC and Team Mitt, a Romney-backed joint fundraising committee, were set up immediately after the Nov. 6 midterm elections. Both vehicles can be used to send donations to GOP candidates.
Romney has made little secret that he intends to use his outsize profile as senator. Prior to the election, he backed an array of Republican candidates in races up and down the ballot.
Tuesday’s event provides a window into how the former GOP nominee will use his profile and deep connections as senator. Organizing the event are Michael McCollum Adams and Lauren Hamel, both of whom served as top fundraisers for outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan, Romney’s 2012 running mate.
Attendees are being asked to give $5,000 apiece.
Romney also has begun taking early steps to build his Senate office. Last week, he announced that Matt Waldrip, a longtime top aide managed his 2018 Senate campaign, as chief of staff.

buffalo, no they haven’t but they’ve been collecting ALL of your data to use against you. Why do you think all of the super computers are located in Utah ? Ever been to Utah ? If you’re not mormon you’re not allowed to know what’s going on.
Don’t have to blow me up to destroy me.

True enough, Justsss. My doctor brother was there in the early 80's in Roosevelt and that is EXACTLY what he said. If you ain't mormon or Ute they will screw you over in a heartbeat. They screwed him on a house he had to walk away from.
