Chelsea Clinton will be in Utah on Tuesday to campaign for her mother, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

A 1 p.m. rally is scheduled at the University of Utah student center ballroom, according to Utahns for Hillary field director Caroline Louise Cole. Tickets to the hourlong event, which will include a question-and-answer session, are free.

A similar rally, also free, is scheduled at Weber State University, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Tentatively planned is a free senior citizens "meet and greet" mid-afternoon at the Northwest Senior Center in Salt Lake and a young professionals "meet and greet" in the evening at the Port O'Call private club downtown that likely will cost $50 to attend.

Cole said details of the former first daughter's appearances in Salt Lake are still being worked out and information should be available Monday at www.hillaryclinton.com.

Hillary Clinton has not visited Utah, but last November, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, raised some $350,000 for her White House bid at a pricey fundraiser in Park City as well as at a speech at the U. that cost $50 to attend.
