FOX CHAPEL — Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will attend a private fundraiser at a supporter's home next week.

The event called “Conversations with Hillary” lists contribution levels of $1,000 for a “friend” on up to $27,000 which qualifies one as an “event host.” That also includes getting to attend a reception with Clinton and membership in her Hillstarters program.
