Wright State is yet again honored and excited to be a destination of choice for candidates from both sides of the aisle.

Through the years, many political campaigners have stopped at Wright State including both candidates from the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama and John McCain.  McCain introduced Palin as his running mate during their stop at the Wright State University Nutter Center.
