Obama to raise funds July 23 in Oakland, Piedmont

President Barack Obama is headed back to Northern California to raise campaign funds in the East Bay on July 23.

The fundraising swing will include what is believed to be his first visit to Oakland since he entered the White House in January 2009. Then-Sen Obama had campaigned in Oakland three times in 2007 when running for president. During the upcoming visit, President Obama will first attend a small, "broadly tech-related campaign discussion" somewhere in the East Bay, to which admission will cost $35,800. Then he'll attend a fundraising reception and dinner starting at 4:15 p.m. at the Piedmont home of progressive activist-philanthropist Quinn Delaney and her husband, real estate developer Wayne Jordan. That event will also cost $35,800 per person.
