Laura Bush in Raleigh for Dole event


First Lady Laura Bush is in Raleigh for a fund raiser this afternoon for Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole.

The tea will be held at the Inside-the-Beltline home of North Hills developer John Kane, who in June hosted a fund raiser featuring President Bush to benefit GOP gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory, Rob Christensen reports. 

The private event is being held beneath the radar. There was no announcement from the Dole campaign that the fund raiser was being held.

Earlier this year, the First Lady also attended a fund raiser for Dole in Asheville.
