Insurance executive Steve Louro says he will host a major fundraiser for Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) headlined by Donald Trump Jr. at his Nissequogue mansion in August.
Louro, who declined to disclose the date of the event, said he agreed to host it because “I love Zeldin, and Donald Jr., is a tremendous guy.”
Zeldin confirmed that Trump’s son has agreed to appear, but said ticket prices and other details have yet to be determined.
Louro hosted a fundraiser for Donald Trump during the presidential campaign that raised $1 million. Until recently, Louro also served as regional finance director of the state GOP, but stepped down because he felt the federal tax overhaul did not better protect middle class New Yorkers.
Louro announced plans to run for Suffolk County executive more than a year ago, but gave up the idea because his wife, Carolyn, opposed his run.
