Mike Pence to headline Houston-area fundraiser for U.S. Rep. John Culberson, Texas Tribune (9 August)

"Vice President Mike Pence is coming to Texas later this month to help raise money for U.S. Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston, amid a tough re-election fight. Pence will headline a fundraiser for Culberson on Aug. 23 in the Houston area, according to an invitation obtained by The Texas Tribune. The invitation for the breakfast event bills Pence as a "very special guest."

Vice President Pence Talks Future Human Space Exploration at NASA's Johnson Space Center, NASA (21 August)

"Vice President Mike Pence, with NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, will visit NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston Thursday, Aug. 23, to discuss the future of human space exploration and the agency's plans to return to the Moon as a forerunner to future human missions to Mars."

Keith's note: So ... did VP Pence decide to visit Texas to do the Culberson fundraiser - and then added the JSC visit - or vice versa? When was the Bridnestine visit to JSC added? This is his second visit to JSC for both Pence and Bridenstine whereas other NASA field centers have not yet been visited once.
