Hillary Clinton will raise money for the Democratic National Committee at an intimate dinner fundraiser in Washington later this month, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO.

The event, scheduled for March 27, is billed as “dinner & conversation” with Clinton and DNC Chairman Tom Perez and comes as the DNC ramps up for the 2020 presidential race. Between 20 and 30 people are expected to attend, according to a person familiar with the event.


The fundraiser is being hosted by Claire Lucas and Judy Dlugacz, a couple who fundraised for Clinton during her 2016 bid.

Clinton’s Washington dinner offers an early window into what role the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee plans to play in the upcoming election cycle. Clinton, a former secretary of State, senator and first lady, last week reaffirmed that she does not plan to run for president next year.

"I'm not running, but I'm going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe," Clinton told New York's News 12 Westchester.
