Speaker John Boehner is expected to raise almost a quarter of a million dollars Tuesday in California at a fundraiser hosted by a Hewlett-Packard Co. executive.

The Ohio Republican, who is entering traditional Democratic fundraising territory with the event, is expected to raise more than $200,000, according to sources familiar with the fundraiser. It will be held at the Menlo Park home of HP Executive Vice President and General Counsel Michael Holston, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The Speaker is excited to engage with the tech community, according to Boehner spokesman Cory Fritz.

“As someone who understands the link between innovation and economic growth, Speaker Boehner is looking forward to talking about GOP plans to help end economic uncertainty and create jobs with leaders of Silicon Valley,” Fritz said in a statement. He declined to discuss how much money Boehner would raise during the trip.

Boehner has led House Republicans’ fundraising efforts this year.
