A major progressive PAC, Hold the House, has canceled a fundraiser in Silicon Valley scheduled for November 8 at which Rep. Katie Hill was scheduled as the featured speaker, according to an email provided to RedState and published at The Daily Fold.

No reason was given for the cancellation, which was to be hosted by Santa Clara County Supervisor Susan Ellenberg and her husband.

The cancellation comes after DCCC insiders told RedState Sunday that the group is quietly seeking a replacement for Hill. Hill is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a congressional staffer.
