LITTLE ROCK — Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O'Malley is holding a fundraiser in Arkansas next month, visiting rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's adopted home turf.
The former Maryland governor is headlining a reception at a Little Rock home on Dec. 4, according to an invitation sent out Thursday. O'Malley is running for the Democratic nomination against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Clinton, who served 12 years as Arkansas' first lady.
Clinton has already locked up support from the state's top Democrats, with Arkansas' five superdelegates planning to back her at next year's convention.
O'Malley is the latest among several presidential hopefuls to visit Arkansas since lawmakers moved up the state's primary from May to March 1, part of an effort to create a regional nominating contest among Southern states.
