Wisconsin Republican U.S. Senate candidate Leah Vukmir is in Washington, D.C., for a series of fundraisers, including one on Wednesday with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Vukmir faces Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin in the Nov. 6 election.
Invitations obtained by The Associated Press show Vukmir was to attend a fundraiser Wednesday morning at the office of the anti-abortion group the Susan B. Anthony List.

On Wednesday night, Vukmir was to hold a fundraiser at the offices of the National Mining Association. That event was to include McConnell and a host of other Republican senators including Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
A third fundraiser hosted by Washington lobbyists was scheduled for Thursday morning.
Vukmir campaign manager Jess Ward said she is fundraising in Washington “so our underdog campaign will have the resources necessary” to get out her message.
