NRSC deepens Sununu embrace with D.C. fundraiser

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is hosting a Washington D.C. fundraiser for former Sen. John Sununu's comeback bid in New Hampshire.

Why it matters: NRSC Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) welcomed Sununu's announcement earlier this week, saying his committee was "all-in" for Sununu.

Now Scott is putting the full institutional weight of the Senate GOP fundraising apparatus behind Sununu.

The intrigue: There's another former Republican senator in the race.

Scott Brown, who thrilled the Republican establishment and helped stymie then-President Obama's health care ambitions when he won an upset victory in 2010 in neighboring Massachusetts, is also running.

Zoom in: The Nov. 19 fundraising dinner, with a reception beforehand, will accept donations from PACs and individuals.

To co-chair the event, a PAC will need to contribute $10,000. For an individual, it costs $7,000.
The lowest level of donation is $2,500 for a PAC and $1,000 for an individual.

The other side: Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) raised $1.8 million in the third quarter, leaving him with $2.6 million cash on hand.

Brown, who served as Trump's ambassador to New Zealand in his first term, raised $1.2 million in the third quarter from all his accounts, according to Fox News. He had $900,000 cash on hand at the beginning of the month.
