While all eyes were on the auto bailout last week, another bailout of sorts was taking shape: One for Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has racked up $7.5 million in campaign debt.
In this case, it’s not the government who will be pitching in, but instead, “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera.
On Dec. 15, Ferrera will serve as master of ceremonies at a debt-retirement “conversation” with the former first lady at New York City’s Manhattan Center Studios.
While reps for Ferrera didn’t comment as to whether she’ll be making her own personal donation to offset Clinton’s debt, Ferrera’s commitment to the Secretary of State pick has been steadfast.
“She was extremely vocal for her support of Sen. Clinton and she got along great with all the Clintons, in fact,” says one source who was on the campaign trail with both Ferrera and Clinton.
Ferrera announced her support of Clinton in Jan. 2008, and campaigned for her in Nevada and Pennsylvania.
