The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama announced today that it is opening its second campaign office in Charlottesville.
The office will open Saturday and will be located at 104 Wertland St. It will focus on voter outreach for University of Virginia students.
Obama’s campaign also has an office located on the Downtown Mall.
Both Charlottesville campaign offices are urging residents to stop by on Saturday to donate canned food, bottled water, first-aid supplies and other goods for people displaced by Hurricane Gustav.
As of this weekend, Obama’s campaign will have 41 offices located across Virginia.
Virginia is widely seen as a battleground state in the Nov. 4 election between Obama and Republican nominee John McCain.
McCain’s campaign has not opened any offices in the Charlottesville region.
