The latest in a flurry of campaign activity in Wisconsin, President Barack Obama will be in Milwaukee Saturday to speak to supporters on the Summerfest grounds as well as hold a private fundraiser.
Obama’s visit underscores how Wisconsin has become one of a handful of important battleground states in November’s presidential election.
Last week, Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan made stops in Wisconsin. Ann Romney will be in Milwaukee this Thursday campaigning for her husband Mitt.
The Obama campaign’s Wisconsin Press Secretary Gillian Morris said in an email to supporters Obama will talk about his plan to continue creating an economy “that’s built to last” by investing in education, energy, innovation and infrastructure.
In addition to his speech on the Summerfest grounds, Obama will hold a private fundraiser with Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron at the Milwaukee Theatre.
