Boxer to raise money for Franken’s recount fund

California Senator Barbara Boxer will hold a fundraiser in July to help Democrat Al Franken pay for his recount fund. Boxer filed the FEC papework for the Boxer-Franken 2009 fund last week.

Franken's spokeswoman, Jess McIntosh, said Boxer intends to hold a fundraiser for Franken in July. She couldn't say where the fundraiser will be held but "it's not in Minnesota."
