Former President Bill Clinton will be in Helena, Great Falls and Havre on Tuesday to campaign for his wife, Hillary Clinton, an aide said Friday.

Matt McKenna, a Montanan who is a spokesman for the former president, said more details on Bill Clinton’s visit to the three cities, including the order of the stops and the sites, will be announced later.

Hillary Clinton, along with her Democratic presidential rival, Barack Obama, will be speaking in Butte at the Montana Democratic Party’s Mansfield-Metcalf dinner on April 5. On the following day, she has scheduled a fundraiser at the Hilton Garden Inn in Missoula with ticket prices ranging from $250, $500 to $1,000.

They are battling for Montana’s 17 delegate votes in the state’s June 3 Democratic presidential primary. The votes will be divided proportionally according to the outcome.

Montana also has seven superdelegates — U.S. Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester and Gov. Brian Schweitzer and four top party officials.

Only one of the superdelegates has committed to a presidential candidate. Democratic National Committeeman Ed Tinsley of Helena has said he will cast his vote for Obama.

Bill and Hillary Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, visited Montana on vacation when he was governor of Arkansas and called on then-Gov. Ted Schwinden. At Schwinden’s invitation, Bill Clinton spoke at a state Democratic Party convention in Missoula in 1987 when he was considering running for president the next year, but ultimately didn’t.

Bill Clinton campaigned in Billings in his 1992 presidential campaign when he unseated Republican President George H.W. Bush. Clinton carried Montana, winning 38 percent of the vote to Bush’s 35 percent, with independent Ross Perot pulling 26 percent. Minor party candidates divided the rest of the votes.

The Clinton family also visited the Billings area in 1995 and he conducted a town hall meeting that was televised statewide.

In 1996, Republican Bob Dole defeated Clinton by a 44 percent to 41 percent margin, with Perot taking 14 percent of the vote.
