The group Ready for Hillary, a political action committee encouraging former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to run for president, plans a gathering Dec. 12 in Washington DC, according to invitations emailed out Tuesday night.
The Ready for Hillary PAC, which has raised more than $1 million, lists a mailing address in McLean. The Ready for Hillary PAC has set up an office south of Old Town Alexandria that has served as a campaign office for Sen. Tim Kaine.

Clinton was in Falls Church last month stumping for friend Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe. McAuliffe was chairman of Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.
The Dec. 12 event is hosted by Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan, a Democrat from the Youngstown-Warren area of Ohio, who recently announced his support for Clinton. Ryan is the first U.S. House member to publicly announce support for the push. Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri also is on board.
