Former President Bill Clinton will speak at Harding High School in the gymnasium beginning at 12:45 PM on Friday, February 29. Doors for the event will open to the public at 12:15.

Marion Democratic Party chairwoman Cathy Chaffin confirmed on Monday evening that former President Bill Clinton will be in Marion County on Friday.

The visit will come 4 days before the Ohio Primaries where Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama in the latest polls. That lead however has been shrinking.

It is the first visit by a former president since Richard Nixon came to Marion in 1968 while still in office.
