NASHVILLE (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to headline a fundraiser in Nashville next week for the Democratic presidential campaign of his wife, Hillary Clinton.

The Tennessean reports (http://tnne.ws/1YipC7P) that the Monday event will be held at Adele's restaurant in the city's Gulch neighborhood. The invitation does not identify the organizers of the fundraiser.

Hillary Clinton attended fundraisers for her campaign in Nashville in March and November that were hosted by former mayoral candidates Charles Robert Bone and Bill Freeman respectively. She also campaigned at Fisk University and LeMoyne-Owen College in Memphis during the November visit to the state.

Bill Clinton carried Tennessee in both the 1992 and 1996 elections, and Hillary Clinton easily won the state's Democratic primaries this year and in in 2008.
