President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney have both rescheduled previously canceled events in Wisconsin this week because of complications surrounding Hurricane Sandy, which ravaged the East Coast Monday.
Obama had scheduled a visit Tuesday, but due to the hurricane decided to stay in the Oval Office. He has rescheduled his event for Thursday in Green Bay, Wis., according to his campaign website.
Romney was scheduled to travel to West Allis Monday, but also canceled because of the hurricane and has rescheduled his visit for Friday, according to his campaign website.
Romney’s wife Ann stopped in Green Bay Tuesday, and his running mate, Paul Ryan, has multiple events scheduled in Wisconsin Wednesday.
Wisconsin is an important battleground for Obama and Romney and as the election approaches, both campaigns are increasing their presence in the state.

Doors open at 7:30 a.m. Friday for Romney’s speech at 640 S. 84th St. in Milwaukee.
