It may not be viral marketing, but House of Cards‘ Kate Mara showing up at a fundraiser is a reminder the spiritual successor to K Street is coming back. The original Netflix drama is set to start up production later this month while the White House Correspondents Dinner kicks into gear, so it isn’t strange that the stars are making their way back to Washington.
Politico caught the tweet that Mara, who plays upcoming new media gadfly Zoe Barns, sent out from a fundraiser for Trenton Newark Mayor Cory Booker last night:
Amazing night in DC hanging with Elaina, @maxminghella @corybooker and @teamvic! #Booker2014 twitter.com/_KateMara/stat…
— Kate Mara (@_KateMara) April 2, 2013
Does this mean Booker has secret plans to open a special BBQ joint in DC should he successfully take outgoing Senator Frank Lautenberg’s seat in 2014? Just to be safe, no one should tweet Booker if they happen to have an injured dog.
edit: our Trenton/Newark mistake came from a sudden case of wanting ribs. We regret the error! Sorry, Jersey!
