Supporters of District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser are getting together to raise money for Baltimore mayoral candidate Sheila Dixon.

Developer Warren Williams is hosting the fundraiser on April 15 at a restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland. Williams is a longtime Bowser supporter and campaign donor. Other Bowser contributors are listed as hosts for the event, including Ben Soto, the treasurer of her 2014 campaign.

 Bowser’s spokesman, Michael Czin, says he’s not aware of the Democratic mayor having endorsed anyone in the Baltimore race. Williams says he organized the fundraiser on his own because he thinks Dixon is the best candidate.

Dixon, a Democrat, served previously as Baltimore mayor from 2007 to 2010, when she stepped down after she admitted embezzling gift cards donated to the city for poor children.
