Mega-lobbyist Jeff Miller — a confidant of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy — is hosting an upcoming fundraiser for current Speaker Mike Johnson.

The news that Miller, McCarthy’s longtime friend and fundraiser, is once again hitting the fundraising circuit for McCarthy’s replacement, comes just days after the former speaker left Congress. Tickets for the event, scheduled for Jan. 31 at an undisclosed location, will cost as much as $100,000 for gold-level status.

The fundraiser will also feature House Republican leadership and committee chairs, according to an invite obtained by POLITICO. It is not the first time Miller has stepped in for Johnson, even in the early months of his tenure. Punchbowl News reported in November that Miller would co-host a fundraiser for Johnson.

In the wake of Johnson’s election, lobbyists told POLITICO he was largely an unknown entity on K Street. But Miller’s pivot to Johnson’s camp indicates that McCarthy’s fundraising operation is getting behind the new speaker, as the House GOP looks to defend its majority in 2024.
