Presumptive Republican presidential nominee and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will be campaigning in Virginia Wednesday.

Romney will hold an economy-focused event in Chantilly at Exhibit Edge, a company that specializes cutting edge technology for trade shows and exhibits.

The 10:30 a.m. event is open to the public.

Romney’s visit to the state, his first in months, will be just days ahead of President Barack Obama’s campaign kick-off rally in Richmond on Saturday.
