Barack Obama to Visit Cedar Rapids on Wednesday

U.S. President Barack Obama will be coming to Cedar Rapids next Wednesday to promote his State of the Union address.

His Cedar Rapids stop will be his only visit in Iowa, but he will also be visiting Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and Michigan, as a part of the three-day, five-state tour, according to the Gazette. 

"We are excited to have him back in the state," said Sam Roecker, communications director for the Iowa Democratic Party.

The time and location of the event has not yet been released.

Despite the media attention previously focused on the Republican presidential candidates in the Iowa Caucus, Roecker said he expects the president to get a warm welcome.

"Twenty-five thousand Iowans supported him and showed up to the caucuses," Roecker said. "He still has a lot of support in Iowa."
