Longshot Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard will hold town hall-style meetings in Colorado Springs and Boulder this week, her campaign said Tuesday, marking the Hawaiian congresswoman's first visit to Colorado since declaring her run.

Gabbard, 38, is serving her fourth term in Congress and is a major in the Hawaii National Guard. She's the first woman combat veteran to run for president.

"At the town halls, Tulsi will continue to share her vision for ending our engagement in costly regime change wars, the new Cold War and arms race, and investing U.S. resources in serving the needs of the American people," her campaign said in a release.

Gabbard is scheduled to appear in Colorado Springs on Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Cheyenne Mountain Room in the Beckett Event Center, 6436 S. Highway 85-87. Her campaign advises parking in the west entrance. Attendees can RSVP here.

A Thursday town hall is planned in Boulder from noon to 1:30 p.m. at The Avalon Ballroom, 6185 Arapahoe Road. Attendees are urged to bring a snack and to RSVP here.

Gabbard stands out in the Democrats' shrinking primary field with her strong opposition to military intervention abroad and other unorthodox positions.

"Go beyond the mainstream media bias and smears and meet the genuine freedom fighter!" her campaign site says, echoing a recent complaint by Gabbard that her candidacy has been derailed by an "almost total corporate media blackout."

Colorado voters are returning presidential primary ballots that are due March 3, dubbed "Super Tuesday" because 14 states are voting the same day, including California and Texas.

Like Colorado's Michael Bennet, Gabbard put her chips on a strong showing in last week's New Hampshire primary after effectively skipping the Iowa caucuses. But unlike Bennet, who dropped out after a disappointing showing, Gabbard is seeking to jump-start her campaign despite finishing in seventh place in the primary, with 3.3% of the vote.

She's polling last among the Democrats still in the race, according to the FiveThirtyEight political data site, with support averaging 1.4% nationally. She has similar levels of support in Nevada and South Carolina, which hold their contests in the coming weeks.

Gabbard is suing Hillary Clinton over remarks the 2016 Democratic nominee made recently suggesting Gabbard is a "Russian asset."

In a lawsuit filed in federal district court in New York, Gabbard charges Clinton with deliberately lying "with obvious malicious intent" when she made the off-hand comment in an interview in October. Clinton, Gabbard alleges, was trying to thwart Gabbard's presidential ambitions.
