Gov. Janet Napolitano will be heading back out on the trail for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama over the weekend. She will be campaigning for Obama in Florida on Saturday, her office has announced.

On Saturday, Napolitano is scheduled to appear alongside the senator from Illinois at an "economic town hall" in Daytona Beach, before heading to another event with the same theme in St. Petersburg.

A week earlier, Napolitano was in Ohio and Pennsylvania on Obama's behalf, appearing with Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. This Saturday, though, will mark the first time Napolitano has appeared with Obama on the campaign trail since he wrapped up his party's nomination.

According to her office, Napolitano's trips are being financed by the Obama campaign.

PHOENIX -- Gov. Janet Napolitano said she will be heading to Ohio and Pennsylvania in the coming weeks to act as a surrogate for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Speaking with PolitickerAZ.com after the opening of the Obama campaign's Arizona headquarters, an event that drew close to a thousand people, Napolitano said her first two stops are the only she has planned at the moment, but "it's up in the air."

She did not, however, know if the senator from Illinois or his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) will be making an appearance any time soon.

The second day of the Democratic National Convention will be called to order at 5:00 PM EST today, with a theme of "Renewing America's Promise."  Featured speakers include Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kan.), U.S. Sen. Robert Casey, Jr. (D-Pa.), Gov. Deval Patrick (D-Mass.), and Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D-Mont.). The keynote speaker will be Gov. Mark Warner (D-Va.), followed by the headline prime-time speaker, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).
