Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will make her first foray into Virginia on Friday at George Mason University in Fairfax, according to an invite sent out by the state party and posted to the Democratic Party of Virginia’s Facebook page.

Clinton will appear at an event for the Democratic Party of Virginia. Her appearance will take place at 5 p.m. Friday at GMU’s Patriot Center.

The Richmond-Times Dispatch recently reported that the party’s Jefferson-Jackson dinner, which is usually held in Richmond, is being moved to Northern Virginia this year.

“Details still are being finalized, but the event, traditionally held in Richmond, is expected to take place at George Mason University in Northern Virginia — a Democratic vote- and cash-rich region of this crucial presidential swing state,” the newspaper reported.

Tickets to the event are $30 or $125. For $30, “seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis,” with food and beverages for sale. “Preferred seating” and the cost for food and beverages are included for the $125 price.
