US Sen. Al Franken to speak at Cortez Masto fundraiser in Reno
CARSON CITY — U.S. Sen. and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Al Franken plans to be in Reno on Saturday to raise money for Nevada Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Catherine Cortez Masto.
Franken, D-Minn., will give an update on the 2016 election cycle and the critical importance of Cortez Masto winning the Nevada race to help Democrats retake the Senate majority.
Apparently, Franken has other talents as well, as he will be asked to show off his “incredible ability” to hand-draw a map of the United States from memory.
The event runs from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at a downtown Reno location that will be disclosed to those who RSVP.
The suggested contribution is $50 to $250.
Those wanting to attend can RSVP on Cortez Masto’s website or email Tyler Langdon at tyler@catherinecortezmasto.com
