Romney's first duty in Washington? Fundraising



Senator-elect Mitt Romney is already collecting chits, hosting a donor event Tuesday evening in Washington for his Believe in America PAC.

Utah Republican Mitt Romney hasn’t yet been sworn in to the Senate, but he’s already flexing his fundraising muscle.

The senator-elect is hosting a donor event Tuesday evening in Washington for Believe in America PAC, his newly-formed political action committee, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO. The fundraiser will be the PAC’s first.

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, will be no ordinary freshman senator. He is expected to use his national profile and formidable fundraising network to collect chits and help elect Republicans across the country. Believe in America PAC and Team Mitt, a Romney-backed joint fundraising committee, were set up immediately after the Nov. 6 midterm election. Both vehicles can be used to send donations to GOP candidates.

Romney has made little secret that he intends to use his outsize profile as senator. Prior to the election, he backed an array of Republican candidates in races up and down the ballot.
