PITTSFIELD ‒ Hillary Clinton will bring her Democratic presidential campaign to Massachusetts next week in a last ditch effort to shore up support ahead of Tuesday's primary election.

Rep. Richard Neal, D-Springfield, who announced the visits to supporters who gathered at the campaign's Pittsfield organizing office, said the former secretary of state will stop in Springfield Monday morning before traveling to Boston for an afternoon event.

Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, meanwhile, is expected to stop in Worcester for an election eve rally, the congressman said. Details for the events are expected to be released later Saturday.

The stops will come just one week after Democratic rival Bernie Sanders campaigned in Boston and Amherst and one day before Massachusetts voters will join those in about a dozen other states in casting ballots in the presidential primaries.

With polls predicting a close race between the former first lady and Vermont senator in the Bay State on so-called "Super Tuesday," Neal contended that Clinton's plans to visit Massachusetts suggest the state is still in play.

"The outcome is likely to be close, I think that there's been fluidity to the polling data that we've seen. But if you're going to have Secretary Clinton in Springfield on Monday, in Boston on Monday afternoon and Bill Clinton in Worcester on Monday night, it's very clear that they see this as being winnable," he said in an interview.

Although Clinton won the state in her 2008 presidential election bid and her husband saw huge wins in Massachusetts in his own White House runs, Neal said he's not surprised that the current race between her and Sanders is so close.

He, however, said he thinks the former first lady's decision to campaign in Western Massachusetts could help move the needle in terms of voters who decide to support her.

"I think that she's going to do very well in Western Massachusetts," the congressman said.

A WBUR/MassINC poll released this week gave Clinton, who stopped in Holyoke for a campaign fundraiser in early October, a slight lead over Sanders in Massachusetts.
