Sen. McCain helping raise for Rep. Mitchell challenger By Sean J. Miller



Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will raise money for House challenger David Schweikert (R) in Washington next week.

Schweikert is making his second bid to unseat Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.). The incumbent defeated Schweikert by nine points in 2008.

Schweikert, one the National Republican Congressional Committee's top prospects, certainly needs the help. Mitchell had a $600,000 edge on him in cash on hand at the end of August.

The event is being held Sept. 28 at the Capitol Hill Club, according to the Schweikert camp. Tickets are $1,000 per PAC or $500 for an individual.
