WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is heading into another intense round of fundraising — a three-day, five-state swing to raise money for Democratic candidates on the ballot in November.

Starting Monday, Obama will make stops in Wisconsin, California, Washington state, Ohio and Florida before returning to the White House on Wednesday. In Seattle, Obama will headline campaign events for Sen. Patty Murray of Washington. He’ll also discuss the new health care law at a meeting of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Immediately after the swing, Obama is scheduled to take his family to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., for vacation.
