Sen. Harkin fundraising at Lady Gaga concert — again

Sen. Tom Harkin is getting ready, once again, to party — and raise some serious moolah — with Lady Gaga.

Almost exactly two years after his much buzzed-about first event featuring the pop diva, the Iowa Democrat’s campaign committee is holding another Gaga-centric fundraiser.

An invite to the Feb. 25 concert at Washington’s Verizon Center, posted on the Sunlight Foundation’s site, politicalpartytime.org, says individual donors can pay $3,000 for a pair of tickets to the “Born This Way" singer’s show and a VIP reception with Harkin. The cost jumps to $3,500 for political action committees.

Harkin, 73, isn’t the first lawmaker to hop aboard the Lady Gaga fundraising bandwagon. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) hosted a private room at one of the entertainer’s shows in 2010.
