McCain to return to ABQ for fundraiser

Republican presidential nominee John McCain will be in Albuquerque next month for a private fundraiser, the Albuquerque Journal is reporting.

Tickets for the July 14 gathering will be $1,000 apiece, McCain’s New Mexico finance chair, car dealer Ken Zangara, told the newspaper. The fundraiser will be hosted at Zangara’s home.

This will be McCain’s second 2008 campaign trip to New Mexico. He was in Albuquerque on Memorial Day. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has also made two trips to New Mexico – one to Albuquerque and Santa Fe and the other to Las Cruces.
