Jill Biden, Second Gentleman to campaign in UP Thursday and Friday

MARQUETTE, MI— First Lady Jill Biden is visiting the Upper Peninsula this week to stump for her husband, President Joe Biden.

Thursday afternoon, she and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff will be in Marquette as part of the “Women for Biden-Harris” campaign. In the evening, they’ll travel to the eastern U.P. to deliver remarks at a community event with the Bay Mills Indian Community and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.

On Friday, Biden and Emhoff will join a community listening session about health care with both tribes, then tour the Soo Locks.

The First Lady and Second Gentleman will then head downstate to campaign in Midland and Detroit.

The White House has not released additional details about the events.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
