Clyburn headed to Cincinnati Friday

And, no, it's not for a campaign event. House Democratic Caucus Chairman James Clyburn, D-S.C., will make a major address on the economy at noon on Friday at the Greater Cincinnati African American Chamber of Commerce.

A spokeswoman for the caucus says the event is not political and it’s not related to the John Cranley for Congress campaign. Besides, Cranley already hosted Clyburn for a campaign event last August.

Cranley is running against Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Westwood, in the 1st District.

Instead, Clyburn's speech is a part of a national effort by House Democrats to highlight their "New Direction" agenda to promote economic security, opportunity, and prosperity for America’s families by making speeches about the agenda throughout the country.

This week, 10 House Democratic leaders are delivering speeches in cities throughout the country – Chicago, Phoenix, Boston, Hartford, Conn., to name a few – to outline Democrats’ commitment to restoring economic security for hard-working Americans.

Maybe it's a coincidence that the speech comes just one month before the Nov. 7 elections?
