House Minority Leader John Boehner made an unheralded appearance at a fundraiser for Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Terry this week in Nebraska, prompting Terry’s Democratic opponent to question the “secret” nature of the visit.

Boehner helped raise “well over $100,000” for Terry at a reception and private dinner, said David Boomer, Terry’s campaign manager.

Boomer said the news media were not notified because Boehner, R-Ohio, did not have time for interviews. His trip into Omaha lasted only a few hours. Boehner then traveled to Des Moines, where he was set to make another appearance.

Democrat Tom White, who is running against Terry, said he believed Terry did not want to be linked to Boehner and the GOP’s policies.
