President coming to Maine in March

PORTLAND, Maine -- President Barack Obama is coming to Maine next month to raise money.

The Maine Democratic Party confirmed that the president is planning to pay a visit to the Portland area on March 30. Spokeswoman Lizzy Reinholt says he's expected to attend a pair of fundraisers.

The president last came to Maine during a family vacation to Acadia National Park in 2010. First Lady Michelle Obama also visited the state last September, headlining a pair of fundraisers.
