Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to speak Monday night at a Democratic National Committee Fundraiser event at Brentwood’s Tavern restaurant in Los Angeles.

This event marks the third major Democratic fundraising event to hit L.A. in the past month. Vice President Joe Biden attended a cocktail reception for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee at the home of Fox Filmed Entertainment chairman-CEO Jim Gianopulos on Oct. 6.

This was followed by President Barack Obama’s visit to the city later that week, which comprised several stops, including a fundraising dinner at the home of Gwyneth Paltrow.

The DNC event’s co-chairs include Steven Spielberg, Dreamworks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and Disney Studio chairman Alan Horn, according to the invitation posted on PoliticalPartyTime.org.
