Clinton plans campaign trip to Appalachia
So far Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois have been waging their campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in Ohio’s big cities.
That will change next week, at least for Clinton, the New York senator. She’ll campaign in southern Ohio, the state’s Appalachian region, her campaign announced Monday, Feb. 18. That’s the region that her top Ohio backer - Gov. Ted Strickland -comes from. He’s from Duck Run in Scioto County.
“We wanted to make clear to the people of southern Ohio that their voice will be heard by Sen. Clinton in this campaign and that no part of Ohio will be ignored in her efforts to talk to voters across the state,” Isaac Baker, campaign spokesman, said.
She will discuss economic development in an area hard hit by unemloyment and other economic problems, the campaign said.
Details of the trip will be announced later.
