Amazon.com Inc. general counsel David Zapolsky is expecting to open his house to former Vice President Joe Biden in a couple of weeks—not all that long after the presidential contender criticized the tech giant's tax practices. 

Biden is slated to attend a fundraiser that Zapolsky and his wife, Lynn Hubbard, a community volunteer and former lawyer, are co-hosting on Nov. 15 at their residence in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood.

"My wife and I have supported several of the presidential candidates this year and we are honored to host VP Biden next month," Zapolsky told Corporate Counsel in a written statement on Thursday.

A ticket to the private fundraiser costs $2,800, according to The Seattle Times. 

Biden had a Twitter spat with Amazon in June, when he called out the tech giant for "pulling in billions of dollars of profits" while paying a "lower tax rate than firefighters and teachers." His representatives did not respond to a request for comment.  

Amazon responded at the time that it had "paid $2.6B in corporate taxes since 2016. We pay every penny we owe. Congress designed tax laws to encourage companies to reinvest in the American economy. We have. $200B in investments since 2011 & 300K US jobs. Assume VP Biden's complaint is w/ the tax code, not Amazon."

Zapolsky, who also serves as Amazon's senior vice president and secretary, donated $5,600 to Biden's campaign in April, and Hubbard gave the campaign $2,800 in June, according to Federal Election Commission records. Zapolsky also has donated $2,800 to Democratic presidential candidate and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock. 

In May, Zapolsky and four other Amazon executives contributed to the campaign of U.S. Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island who was leading a subcommittee antitrust investigation into large technology companies. The donations were made ahead of hearings in the investigation. 

A spokeswoman for Amazon said at the time connected the donations to a visit that Cicilline made to Amazon's headquarters as part of a fundraising trip that was scheduled before the investigation and hearings.
