Sebellius will be joined after the rally at a fundraiser for Obama in Las Cruces by N.M. Gov. Bill Richardson and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. for those who contribute at least $2,500 and at 6:30 p.m. for those who contribute $500 or more. Those interested in attending can RSVP by clicking here.

Sebelius was seriously considered this year for the vice presidential spot on the ticket that Obama ultimately gave to Joe Biden.
