PORTLAND — Adam Cote’s congressional campaign has enlisted the help of some celebrity fund-raisers.

Actress Glenn Close and former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey are listed as members of the host committee on an invitation to a Jan. 30 fund-raising event in Manhattan.

The invitation lists two admission prices: sponsors pay $2,300, the maximum amount allowed under federal law, and supporters pay $1,000.

Cote is a Portland lawyer and an Iraq war veteran who is among six Democrats vying for the party’s nomination in the First Congressional District.

Through Sept. 30, 2007, Cote was fourth among the Democrats in fund-raising, behind Chellie Pingree, Mark Lawrence and Ethan Strimling, but ahead of Michael Brennan and Steve Meister.

Cote is the only candidate who has released fund-raising amounts for the last three months of 2007. He raised more $92,000 during that period, putting him over $301,000 in total contributions, according to a campaign press release.

Close, the star of “Fatal Attraction” and more recently, the TV drama “Damages,” is married to Idexx founder David Shaw. They have a home in Scarborough.

Kerrey, a former Democratic senator from Nebraska, is currently the president of the New School in New York.
