President Bill Clinton will visit Montana this Tuesday, April 1, attending "Solutions for America" events in Havre, Great Falls, Helena and Butte.
Clinton is campaigning for his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., who is battling with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for Montana's 17 votes in the June 3 Democratic presidential primary. The votes will be divided proportionally according to the outcome.
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.
Following is Bill Clinton's schedule while in Montana:
