GOP candidate Santorum adds 2 southern Ohio stops

MASON, Ohio (AP) — Repub­li­can offi­cials in south­ern Ohio say GOP pres­i­den­tial con­tender Rick San­to­rum will be at two county party din­ners this Friday.

War­ren County Repub­li­cans say the for­mer U.S. sen­a­tor from Penn­syl­va­nia will stop by their Lincoln-Reagan din­ner in the north­ern Cincin­nati sub­urb of Mason. San­to­rum has a pri­vate recep­tion there. Vir­ginia Gov. Bob McDon­nell is the dinner’s keynote speaker.

Repub­li­cans in Brown County say San­to­rum will head­line their Lin­coln Day din­ner Fri­day night, about 40 miles east of Cincinnati.

San­to­rum also is sched­uled to speak Sat­ur­day at an Ohio Chris­t­ian Alliance lun­cheon in Colum­bus and later to Sum­mit County Repub­li­cans in Akron.

For­mer House speaker Newt Gin­grich cam­paigned through Ohio last week, and for­mer Mass­a­chu­setts Gov. Mitt Rom­ney has upcom­ing events in Cuya­hoga County and Cincinnati.

Ohio’s pri­mary is March 6.
