Patrick to return from 3-day fundraising swing

BOSTON (AP) -- Gov. Deval Patrick is scheduled to return to Massachusetts after completing another political trip promoting President Barack Obama's re-election effort.

The governor's three-day West Coast swing included planned fundraisers in Los Angeles and Seattle for Together PAC, a political action committee created by Patrick to finance his travels on behalf of the president.

The trip's agenda also included a keynote address by Patrick at a Democratic Party dinner in Portland, Ore., on Saturday night.

Patrick was scheduled to return to the state Sunday.

A report filed with the Federal Election Commission shows Together PAC raised about $253,000 in the first three months of the year, while spending about $122,000 during the period.

The PAC had $380,000 in its account at the end of March.
