Southwest Ohio will play host to another Republican presidential candidate on Monday. 

Mitt Romney will be in Cincinnati for two events. He has both a speaking engagement at a Newtown company and a campaign fundraiser in the downtown area.

Romney is set to make a stop at Meridian Bioscience in Newtown for speech about jobs and the economy. The company was founded in 1977 and recently named one of the best small companies to work for by Forbes Magazine. Meridian Bioscience makes diagnostic kits that help doctors test for a variety of diseases.

After Romney speaks to employees there, he'll go downtown for a political fundraiser at the Great American Tower. Romney's visit comes on the heels of campaign stops by Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.

Ohio is still up for grabs for the Republicans as polls have shown lead changes every month since last fall.

The Quinnipiac University poll released last week shows Santorum surging past Romney who was last month's leader.
