Bill Clinton will headline at least 20 fundraisers for his wife across the country over the next month, starting with a pair today in New York City, according to invitations seen by POLITICO.

Stepping up his considerable involvement in Hillary Clinton's campaign, the events will take the former president to 14 states and Washington, D.C., between Nov. 17 and Dec. 14. Some will be hosted by Democratic lawmakers and party leaders.


The cash swing for the legendary fundraiser rounds out the current fundraising quarter and gives a boost to the campaign's 2015 goal of collecting $100 million in money for the primary. Based on funding reports through the third quarter, the Clinton team needs to have collected about $25 million from October through December to make its goal.

Also next month, on Dec. 8, the Brooklyn-based campaign will convene bundlers who have brought in over $100,000 apiece — a group of about 150 people as of late October — for a strategy summit in New York City that will include meetings with campaign advisers and dinner with both campaign chairman John Podesta and campaign manager Robby Mook, according to an invitation reviewed by POLITICO.

Among the events featuring Bill Clinton, Vernon Jordan and his wife, Ann, will host a fundraiser in Washington in December and Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, will host one in Laredo, Texas, on Dec. 4. A Dec. 7 event in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, will be hosted by a who’s who of that state’s Democratic leaders: Gov. Gina Raimondo, Sens. Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, and Reps. Jim Langevin and David Cicilline.

Bill Clinton also will headline events in the following places: Madison, Wisconsin, on Nov. 18; Youngstown, Ohio, on Nov. 19; Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Nov. 24; Los Angeles and Seattle on Dec. 3; Paradise Valley, Arizona, and Laredo, Texas, on Dec. 4; Raleigh and Greensboro, NC on Dec. 7; Pittsburgh, Bethlehem and Scranton, Pennsylvania on Dec. 8; Chicago, Burr Ridge, Illinois, and Munster, Indiana on Dec. 11; and Potomac, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., on Dec. 14.
