Actress Natalie Portman and Ohio First Lady Frances Strickland will speak in the Tri-State on Wednesday at the Obama for America’s Ohio Women Vote 2012 Summit.
The event will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal.
Organizers say the summit will provide women with the opportunity to hear how President Obama supports women and their families.
With early voting starting in two weeks, Ohio is sticking to its reputation as a battleground state. Both sides of the campaign have visited the area recently.
President Obama spoke in Eden Park on Monday. Last week, Republican Mitt Romney campaigned in northern Ohio and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan stopped in Clermont County. Also, Vice President Joe Biden returned to the Buckeye State last Wednesday for a campaign visit to Wright State University in Dayton. The event is free and open to the public, but officials urge participants to RSVP here (http://goo.gl/R523F) .
