DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is set to visit Iowa this weekend to help Democratic candidates.

O’Malley spokeswoman Lis Smith says he will be in the state Saturday and Sunday. This is the fourth trip the potential 2016 presidential candidate has made to the kickoff caucus state this year.

O’Malley will attend a series of public events and private fundraisers for Democrats. On Saturday he’ll speak at a get-out-the-vote event in Des Moines and he’ll appear at a Young Democrats event in Iowa City on Sunday. He is also set to appear at fundraisers for Democratic Senate candidate Bruce Braley and U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, who is running for re-election in the 2nd Congressional District.
