Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will visit Porter County again -- the second time in less than three weeks -- on Wednesday.

Clinton will bring her “Standing Up for Jobs” tour of Indiana to the Duneland Falls Banquet Center on Ind. 149 (1100 N. Max Mochal Highway) in Portage.

Doors open at 11 a.m. The event will begin at 12:45 p.m.

Clinton gave a speech at Washington Township Elementary School on April 12, marking the first time since 1968 that a presidential candidate has come to Porter County.

Her Democrat opponent, Barack Obama, has visited Lake County, but has not stopped in Porter County.

Clinton will make stops in eight Indiana cities today through Thursday. She is holding a non-public “kitchen table conversation” in Hobart today, along with stops in Indianapolis and Princeton. On Wednesday, she will make stops in Portage, Lafayette and Kokomo. On Thursday, she will be in Jeffersonville and Terre Haute.

Indiana’s primary is May 6, a week from today.
