The two-day event for top donors at the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, on Thursday and Friday, followed by a luncheon on Saturday at Martha's Vineyard, are part of the aggressive fundraising effort that's been a hallmark of the former Florida governor's campaign so far. He held 14 fundraisers in the first 18 days after kicking off his campaign. Another dozen are on tap for the rest of July, according to a schedule obtained by Bloomberg.
