The possibility of a direct mass measurement of RR Lyrae variable stars in binary systems has remained elusive for many years, due to the apparent paucity of such systems. Motivated by our recent success of finding a population of high confidence candidates, we have been continuing the search for RR Lyrae variables in binary systems towards the Galactic bulge. We describe the preliminary results of our project in these proceedings.
