All you've gotta do is call — or in the case of Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe (D), have her sign some fundraising emails.
According to McAuliffe campaign staffer Christina Freundlich, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Carole King has reportedly brought in $75,000 for McAuliffe's bid so far. Not to mention emails signed by King are apparently some of the campaign's top performing.
At this point, it's hard to say which is a better accolade for King — her newfound role of celebrity McAuliffe champion, or her status as a Grammy award-winning artist. Quite the toss-up.
