Romney fundraiser not a hint at 2020 run, associates say

There’s been speculation that Mitt Romney, the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nominee, will challenge President Trump in 2020 ever since Romney announced he would run for senator from his adopted state of Utah. Now, the just-elected Sen. Romney is holding a fundraiser — for “Team Mitt” — that is stoking speculation anew.

The fundraiser is to be held in suburban Virginia on February 13. The invitation came from several Team Mitt co-chairs, the most notable among them being Paul Ryan, the recently departed Speaker of the House and 2012 Romney running mate, and his wife Janna. Other co-chairs are Dominion Resources CEO Tom Farrell; Washington lobbyist Marcus Faust; Republican politico and former George H.W. Bush aide Bobbie Kilberg and her husband, Washington lawyer Bill Kilberg; and government contracting executive Richard Montoni and his wife, Andrea.

The invitation asks for donations from $250 to the top-allowed $10,400.
