Prudential building site of Obama campaign HQ
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will base his 2012 re-election campaign at One Prudential Plaza in Chicago, a Democratic official said today.
Once the city’s tallest building, the skyscraper at 130 E. Randolph St. overlooks Millennium Park.
The headquarters is not yet open for business, though campaign manager Jim Messina reportedly is already working out of Chicago.
Obama travels to Chicago April 14 for fundraisers put on by the Democratic National Committee.
The opening date for his headquarters was not immediately known.
In 2008, Obama’s campaign made its headquarters nearby at 233 N. Michigan Ave.
