Michelle Obama, the wife of the Democratic presidential nominee and possible future first lady, is to appear at a public engagement in Virginia this week.
A trained lawyer, she has been closely involved with her husband’s presidential campaign and has participated in a number of engagements all over the U.S.
Ms. Obama will make her way to Richmond and Charlottesville, Virginia, tomorrow (September 17), where she will host an economic roundtable and a Women for Obama voter registration rally.
It has also been reported that she will be joined at the rally by Lilly Ledbetter, a woman from Alabama who took her employers to the Supreme Court after a dispute over unequal pay.
According to ABC 13, the number of voters in Virginia has increased by 211,000 since January 1 and is now home to almost 4.8 million voters.
Ms. Obama recently traveled to Indiana, where she met with working-class women in order to discuss the economy and the tribulations of juggling family life with a job amid the current economic climate.
