(NECN/ABC) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was in Washington, D.C. on Saturday night, attending the Alfalfa Club dinner -- a dinner also attended by President Obama. It is an exclusive gathering of the capital's political and media establishment.
Palin's goal in Washington is said to be gaining support for improvements to Alaska's infrastructure through the President's proposed economic stimulus bill.
On Tuesday, Palin launched a political action committee to help support candidates for federal and state offices. The committee is called SarahPac.
Aides said Palin will limit her political activity until the Alaska legislative session ends in April.
