President Barack Obama will hold a series of campaign events in Miami on June 13 in his first fundraising foray into the Sunshine State since he officially announced his re-election campaign in April.

Tickets for one event range from $44 to $2,500, for seating in the VIP section.

Florida is a key swing state for the president in 2012 and one that his campaign aggressively engaged in during the 2008 election.
