Pawlenty to hold fundraiser for Romney in Minneapolis

Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty will be holding a fundraiser for Mitt Romney on Nov. 21 in Minneapolis.

Pawlenty, who dropped out of the Republican presidential nomination race in August, is national co-chair for the former Massachusetts governor's campaign.

In that capacity, Pawlenty said he sent out a fundraising solicitation to his donors on Romney's behalf.

Pawlenty also said he expects to be traveling around the country in the coming months selling voters and donors on Romney's candidacy.

First stop: Washington, D.C., for an appearance Sunday on Meet the Press as Romney's surrogate.
