February 14, 2012

President Obama will attend a $17,900-per-person brunch fundraiser this week in Washington state, reports the Seattle Times.

The brunch will be held at the home of Jeff and Susan Brotman. Jeff Brotman co-founded Costco Wholesale. The couple has given more than $80,000 to Democratic candidates and committees this cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

After brunch, Obama will attend a lunch ($1,000 per ticket) in Bellevue where donors can pay $5,000 to have their photo taken with the president, and the indie band The Head and the Heart will perform.

The money raised by the events will be divided between Obama's re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to the Seattle Times.
