Buttigieg will attend another fundraiser in Los Angeles on June 19 at the home of TV producer Ryan Murphy and husband David Miller, along with some of Hollywood’s other prominent gay producers, executives, agents and writers, a Democratic donor in California who was invited to this event confirms to CNN.

The Hollywood Reporter first reported the June 19 fundraiser.
Buttigieg has gathered momentum, with support for the mayor jumping 14 points in New Hampshire, according to a Granite State Poll from the University of New Hampshire released Monday.

He announced earlier this month that his campaign raised more than $7 million in the first quarter of the year, which was more than many of his more well-known opponents in the US Senate had raised.
