Mrs. Clinton here collecting
BY HOWARD WILKINSON
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Hillary Rodham Clinton will make a quick trip to Cincinnati today to raise money for her campaign for a New York U.S. Senate seat.
Mrs. Clinton will attend a fund-raising reception with about 50 supporters at the Amberley Village home of Lauren Chesley Cohen, daughter of lawyer Stanley Chesley, who has raised millions for the Democratic Party and is a friend of the Clintons.
“I'm really excited to be able to help her run for the Senate, because she's a great lady and it's her turn to shine now,” said Mrs. Cohen.
The first lady, who was raising campaign money in Boston Tuesday, will make no public appearances. The fund-raiser at the home of Mrs. Cohen and her husband, James, will be closed to the press.
“Most of the people will be my friends and her friends from this area,” Mrs. Cohen said. “Most of them won't be political people at all. Just people who support what Hillary is doing.”
Mrs. Cohen said she was asked by Mrs. Clinton's campaign staff about 10 days ago to hold a fund-raising event. The cocktail reception, she said, will raise about $75,000 for her expected Senate run.
It is expected that Mrs. Clinton and her likely Republican opponent, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, will spend upwards of $20 million each.
Mrs. Clinton's New York campaign committee is picking up the cost of the trip to Cincinnati, but Mrs. Clinton, as first lady, gets government security protection. The Secret Service, Mrs. Cohen said, has been in her house and in the neighborhood this week preparing for the visit.
Mr. Chesley will be at the luncheon. He has hosted several events for President Clinton and has raised money here for Vice President Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign.
Roxanne Qualls, who ended six years as Cincinnati's mayor Wednesday, said she could not attend today's event because of prior commitments.
“I support her all the way,” Ms. Qualls said. “I want to see her in the Senate.”
