Giuliani recruits former Bush fund-raiser

NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani has replaced his top fundraiser with former Bush fundraiser and private investor, James H. Lee, Giuliani’s office said.

Maria Comella, a Giuliani spokeswoman, said Anne Dunsmore was not terminated from her position as deputy campaign manager for finance, though Comella declined to elaborate.

The New York Times reported Dunsmore joined the Guiliani campaign in May. She served as a fundraiser for the Bush campaign in California in 2000 and 2004.

The Guiliani campaign has been criticized recently for a California supporters’ invitation to donate $9.11 to the former New York mayor's campaign.
