COUNTYWIDE : Quayle to Attend Lagomarsino Event
Vice President Dan Quayle has agreed to help Rep. Robert J. Lagomarsino (R-Ventura) raise money for his reelection campaign by speaking at a Mexican-style breakfast in Santa Maria on July 24.
Quayle will appear at the $100-a-plate breakfast of mimosa, Mexican cuisine and mariachis at the Santa Maria home of Bob and Marlene Torres before his scheduled visit to rocket-launching operations at nearby Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Lagomarsino supporters can pay $500 per person to have breakfast and join a separate roundtable discussion with the vice president shortly after the breakfast.
“We are hoping that it will be a very large roundtable,” said Pat Clark, director of the Committee to Re-Elect Congressman Lagomarsino. The breakfast events can handle a maximum of 250 people, she said.
Lagomarsino has begun to raise money in anticipation of another tough challenge from state Sen. Gary K. Hart (D-Santa Barbara) in next year’s election. In 1988, the two politicians collectively spent more than $3 million in one of the costliest congressional races in the nation.
The Torres family, host of the breakfast fund-raiser, owns the Pappy’s Restaurant chain in Santa Maria and Pismo Beach.
