A poll conducted earlier this month by The Wall Street Journal, NBC News and the University of Pennsylvania showed that a Clinton endorsement is more likely to benefit campaigns, compared to support from other leading politicians.

Coleman, currently a New Jersey assemblywoman, is running to succeed congressman Rush Holt, former assistant director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. She is running against Republican candidate Alieta Eck.

Tickets for the event are pricedat as much as $2,600 per attendee.

The event willbe held at the home of Isabella de la Houssaye and David Crane.

Clinton’s visit will occur a week after a fundraising function for the Democratic senatorial race in Union, N.J., featuring appearances from President Barack Obama and U.S. Senator for New Jersey Cory Booker.
