Details announced for Michelle Obama’s ABQ visit

Organizers have announced details for a Thursday visit to Albuquerque by Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

But, as is so often the case with the Obama campaign, details aren’t being released to the public about an event she is going to hold the same day in Santa Fe – an event that isn’t open to the public.

Obama will speak Thursday at a voter-registration rally focused on women in the ballroom at the University of New Mexico’s Student Union Building, according to a news release from the Obama campaign. Doors open at 3 p.m. for the event, which begins at 4 p.m.

Tickets are limited and available on a first come, first serve basis. You can pick up tickets at two Obama campaign offices: one located at 3523 Central Avenue NE and the other located at 6344 4th Street NW.

Bags, signs and banners will not be allowed into the event.

At the Santa Fe event, Obama will speak with military spouses and share her husband’s plan “to support military families,” according to the release.
