It’s unclear whether lawmakers will vote to move up Rhode Island’s presidential primaries to garner more attention from candidates. But Barack Obama’s campaign is scheduled to stop by Little Rhody next week regardless of the primary date.

Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, plans to appear at a fundraising event Oct. 23 between 5 and 7 p.m. at the Black Repertory Company, 276 Westminster St., Providence.

The cost is $100 for adults and $23 for students. Members of the local host committee include Rhoades Alderson, Johnnie Chace, Emily Maranjian, George Matouk, Kelly Taylor, Nelson Taylor, Sam Zurier and Jeff Padwa.

Reservations are required. For further information, call (617) 418-3437 or contact jdineen@barackobama.com.
