Former President Bill Clinton is headed to Jersey City to headline a $2,500-a-plate fundraiser for Mayor Steve Fulop.

The money from the Dec. 3 reception at the Liberty House is going toward Fulop’s 2017 campaign. The invitation doesn't specify whether that's for Fulop's re-election bid or for a gubernatorial run.

Fulop, 36, was elected mayor on May 14.

Fulop has a history with the Clintons. He supported Hillary Rodham Clinton over then-Sen. Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, a fact Fulop’s opponents mentioned frequently during this year’s mayoral race.

The invitation to the event says if you're unable to attend, you can still send a check for up to $10,000 to the mayor's re-election fund.
