If you’re looking to schmooze with Vermont politicos over nachos and margaritas, Tortilla Coast’s your place tonight.

If you haven’t heard of it, that’s because it ain’t in Montpelier. Just two blocks from the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., Tortilla Coast is a popular watering hole for Beltway types looking to cool off with a Dos Equis.

Coincidentally, the Capitol Hill restaurant is playing host to two Vermont fundraisers tonight: one for a Republican state senate candidate from Franklin County and one for the Vermont Democratic House Campaign, which works to elect Dems to the Statehouse.

One reply on “Vermont Dems (and a Republican) to Raise Money Over Nachos and Cervezas”

  1. “An invitation lists three suggested giving levels: $1000, $500 and $100.”

    (sigh)  I realize it takes money to run for office but this all seems so tawdry.
