Jersey Shore season unofficially ends on Labor Day, but Barack Obama is said to be heading toward the beach four days after the holiday to raise money, with a little help from Jon Bon Jovi.
Obama is planning to visit New Jersey Sept. 5 for two fund-raisers at the Shore homes of rocker Bon Jovi and Democratic National Committee Finance Chairman Philip Murphy.
Assemblyman Joseph Cryan, chairman of New Jersey's Democratic party, told the Newark Star-Ledger of the trip and confirmed it to the Associated Press.
Tickets for the event with Murphy will be $2,300 a person. Bon Jovi's event will come with more of a premium: $28,500, according to AP.
Obama has not been to New Jersey since just before the state's February primary and Republicans have tried to use his limited appearances here as political ammunition. John McCain came to North Jersey to raise money earlier this month.
New Jersey has been one of the most giving states to both candidates. Obama had raised $6.4 million here by the end of June while McCain had raised $2.8 million.
