Dallas lawyers host Hillary

Debbie Branson and Frank L. Branson of the The Law Offices of Frank L. Branson in Dallas have invited 400 friends to their University Park home on Feb. 29 for cocktails and a visit with U.S. senator and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Debbie Branson says, growing up in Arkansas as the daughter of a retired Democratic judge for that state's highest court, she has known the Clintons “forever.” She also says she hosted events earlier in the campaign season to raise money for the former first lady, but the campaign needs more money for the primaries, so she and her husband are reaching out to all their friends and opening their  home -- which measures 9,950 square feet, according to  Dallas County Appraisal District records. Sen. Clinton's speechifying, rather than a band, will provide the entertainment for the evening.
