Obamas plan West Side trips for Murray campaign

Tue., Oct. 12, 2010

President Barack Obama will return to Washington next week to campaign for Sen. Patty Murray’s re-election. The two will appear in Seattle at a rally at the University of Washington’s Hec Edmundson Pavilion on Oct. 21. Obama was in Seattle on Aug. 17 to talk about small-business assistance and attend two fundraisers for Murray and the state Democratic Party. Vice President Joe Biden was at a rally for Murray last Friday at the University of Washington Tacoma branch campus, and first lady Michelle Obama is scheduled for a campaign stop Oct. 25.
