Former White House political director Karl Rove will be in Artesia on Jan. 23 to attend a fundraiser for the Republican Party of New Mexico.
The fundraiser will be at The Wellhead Restaurant and Brewpub in the evening, but the time and other details have not been finalized, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
Rove was caught up in the U.S. attorney scandal and other controversies last year and left the White House. His involvement in that scandal included passing along complaints from the state GOP chair about former U.S. Attorney David Iglesias to the Justice Department.
