U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton will bring her presidential campaign to Rhode Island on Sept. 27 with a fund-raising event in East Greenwich.

The New York Democrat and former first lady will appear at a luncheon at the home of Democratic Party activists Mark and Susan Weiner. Lobbyist Gerry Harrington is chairman of the event. Harrington was a top fund-raiser for John Kerry’s unsuccessful 2004 presidential campaign.

Rhode Island's U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. James Langevin, both of whom have endorsed Clinton’s quest for the Democratic presidential nomination, are also scheduled to attend.

Earlier this year, Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, appeared at a fund-raising event on his wife's behalf at the Providence home of former Providence Mayor Joseph R. Paolino Jr.
