Former United States President Bill Clinton and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) will be traveling across New York state on Saturday to campaign for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ahead of the New York primary on April 19.
Clinton and Gillibrand will make campaign stops in four different cities, including Syracuse. Each stop will be a “Get Out the Vote” event.
At these events, Clinton will talk about his wife’s “plan to raise incomes and get results for all communities, keep Americans safe and bring the country together,” according to a press release from Hillary’s campaign.
His first stop will be in Albany at the Desmond Hotel, located at 660 Albany Shaker Road. The event will start at 9:45 a.m. with doors opening at 8:45 a.m. Then Clinton will travel to Watertown to speak at the Mayor Joseph M. Butler Pavilion, located at 175 Black River Parkway. The event will start at 1 p.m. with doors opening at noon.
His third stop will be in Syracuse at Fowler High School, located at 227 Magnolia St. The event will start at 3:45 p.m. with doors opening at 2:45 p.m.
The last stop of the day will be in Binghamton at Binghamton University’s West Gym, located at 440 Vestal Parkway East. The event will start at 7:15 p.m. with the doors opening at 6:15 p.m.
People interested in attending any of these events are encouraged to RSVP through Hillary’s campaign website. The events are free and open to the public.
The former secretary of state made her own campaign stop in Syracuse on April 1.
Clinton and Gillibrand will be campaigning in Syracuse on the same day as business mogul Donald Trump. The day before, on Friday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) held a rally in Syracuse for his presidential campaign.
In addition, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) have made campaign stops in Syracuse on April 8 and April 12, respectively.
