Kay Hagan will have some high-profile visitors next week.

The Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate will meet with Sens. Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Jon Tester of Montana at a fundraiser Monday evening.

The event is being sponsored by former ambassador Jeanette Hyde in Raleigh. Former Gov. Jim Hunt will also be at the event.

McCaskill may be a familiar face to some around here. She campaigned for Barack Obama on May 3, attacking the gas-tax proposal then being touted by Hillary Clinton.

She has been touted by some as a possible vice presidential pick by Obama.

Tester, an organic farmer with a buzz cut, was elected in 2006.
