OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is staying an extra day in Washington state, holding a public event Friday morning.
Romney is in Bellevue Thursday night for a fundraiser, and then will hold a “meet-and-greet” in the city the next morning at the Highland Community Center. His visit comes in advance of the state’s Republican caucuses on Saturday.
The former Massachusetts governor is in a crowded primary race with Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. All have now visited the state, and Santorum and Paul are back for a second visit this week in advance of the caucuses.
