CNN: Can conservatives find their footing in Hollywood in 2016?
Los Angeles (CNN)The West Coast has long been a fundraising bastion for Democrats -- famously fueling the long struggle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential race when Hollywood's loyalties were divided. And George Clooney grabbed headlines in 2012 by raising a $15 million haul for Obama in one night.
But Republicans have raised plenty of money on the West Coast -- albeit more quietly than their Democratic rivals. Now the Republican Jewish Coalition, with its roster of influential donors and board members, is looking to raise the profile of Hollywood conservatives at their annual gala Sunday night in Beverly Hills.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson will be the featured guests at the gathering, but the Republican Jewish Coalition is also hosting its own red carpet to draw attention to more conservative actors and studio executives including Raquel Welch, Angie Harmon, Jeremy Boreing and Nick Searcy.

"I had a great visit with the RJC and I think they got excited by Michigan," Snyder said.
"With respect to the (presidential) race, I hope we get a common sense problem solver out there and I am just watching."
Asked if it was fair to say he is considering a run for president, Snyder said; "it is fair to say I am just watching what's happening."
Asked if he met with billionaire Sheldon Adelson, Snyder said he met with the RJC board and a number of board members. "The Michigan story's a good one."
