President Obama will make his second visit to the Eastern Iowa Corridor this year when he makes a stop in the Iowa City area next Wednesday, April 25.
The White House has confirmed the president's visit, but released no details about where he will be or what time of day he will visit. According to local sources, the president may visit the University of Iowa.
Like his January visit to Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing in Cedar Rapids, this will be an official White House event, according to a campaign official.
The day before the president visits, his wife, Michelle, will headline a $250-a-plate Obama Victory Fund fundraiser in Des Moines April 24. The fund is a fundraising committee authorized by Obama for America and the Democratic National Committee.
