WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton is coming to Minnesota next week to rally support for the re-election campaigns of Gov. Mark Dayton and Sen. Al Franken, according to the Minnesota DFL.

The 42nd president will be part of an early voting and get out the vote event at the University of Minnesota on Friday, Oct. 10.

"We are thrilled to have President Clinton back in Minnesota to support Governor Dayton and Senator Franken," said DFL Chairman Ken Martin in a statement.

Neither Dayton nor Franken's races have attracted much national attention, and Clinton is one of the few high-profile national political figures to campaign for either candidate. Later this month, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is scheduled to campaign with Republican Jeff Johnson, who's challenging Dayton.

Clinton's wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is widely expected to run for president in 2016 and has already secured the support of Dayton, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and several DFL members of the state's U.S. House delegation.
