Obama to visit Zanesville
Democrat Barack Obama is headed back to Ohio on Tuesday, July 1, this time to visit Zanesville in Ohio’s Appalachian region.
Obama will stop by the Eastside Community Ministry which provides food, clothing, emergency relief and other services to needy families, his campaign said.
The event is not open to the general public due to space constraints at the ministry, the campaign said.
The trip appears to be part of Obama’s effort to shore up support in a part of the state that was unfriendly to him in the Democratic presidential primary. Sen. Hillary Clinton got about two-thirds of the vote in Muskingum County, which includes Zanesville, while Obama got about 31 percent. Zanesville is located about 50 miles east of Columbus.
Obama last was in the state on June 13 for a meeting with seniors in Columbus. Republican John McCain campaigned in Ohio last week, holding town hall meetings in Cincinnati and Lordstown and fundraisers in Cincinnati and Hunting Valley, a Cleveland suburb.
