Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) will headline the Ohio Democratic Party’s state dinner May 12.

The event, to which “other presidential candidates have been invited to speak,” according to a news release from the state party, will be held at the Celeste Center on the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus.

Ohio is integral to the Democrats’ hopes of recapturing the White House in 2008.
