Kate Mulgrew ("Kathryn Janeway") spent a seven-year term playing the captain of a starship, now she's hoping to spend a term as Ohio's First Lady. Her husband, Tim Hagan, is the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, and Mulgrew is campaigning right alongside her husband, with several upcoming celebrity fundraiser events, including one with the rest of her Star Trek: Voyager cast mates.

On Thursday, July 25, Mulgrew will join Rosie O'Donnell for a Hagan reception at Paolucci's restaurant in New York City. Co-hosts for the event include Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Rory Kennedy, author Malachy McCourt, and playwright Matthew Lombardo, who penned "Tea at Five," Mulgrew's one-woman show about the life of Katharine Hepburn.

Roughly a month later on Friday, August 23, Mulgrew will join her Voyager costars Robert Picardo ("The Doctor") and Ethan Phillips ("Neelix") in hosting a dessert reception for Hagan in Cleveland following the opening night performance for the Cleveland Playhouse run of "Tea at Five" (tickets for this run of the show go on sale Monday, July 22, see related story here)

The next day, Saturday, August 24th, Mulgrew and the Voyager cast will host an all-day Cleveland Entertainment Extravaganza in honor of Hagan. The event will take place at the Allen Theater at Playhouse Square in Cleveland and will include a special appearance by another famed starship captain, William Shatner ("James T. Kirk").

The Extravaganza includes a daytime entertainment show, a private cocktail reception and a black tie dinner. The rest of the Voyager cast will be joining Mulgrew, Picardo and Phillips; Jeri Ryan ("Seven of Nine"), Robert Beltran ("Chakotay"), Tim Russ ("Tuvok"), Garrett Wang ("Harry Kim"), Roxann Dawson ("B'Elanna Torres") and Robert Duncan McNeill ("Tom Paris").

To round out the weekend, on Sunday, August 25, McNeill will host a pre-show brunch reception for Hagan prior to Mulgrew's Sunday matinee performance of "Tea at Five."
