Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Release - Campaign Announces Nevada Hispanic Leadership Council

Diverse Group of Leaders to Provide Counsel and Outreach

NEVADA -- Clinton campaign co-chair and chair of Hispanic outreach Raul Yzaguirre today announced the formation of the Nevada Hispanic Leadership Council, a wide-ranging group of Hispanic leaders united in support of Hillary Clinton's bid for the presidency. The Council, which includes business owners, educators and activists from throughout the Silver State, will serve as a steering committee and key advisory panel for Hispanic outreach and issues during the campaign.

"Nevada is an increasingly diverse state which will play a critical role in selecting our next president," said Yzaguirre. "This extraordinary group of individuals recognizes, as I do, that Hillary Clinton has a proven record of advocating for those who have been invisible in our society -- and that she has both the experience and the ability to move our country forward as a nation united. Their support and expertise are very important for this campaign."

"Senator Clinton's Nevada Hispanic Leadership Council brings together an unparalleled range of experience and community knowledge that will be a tremendous resource throughout the campaign," said Clinton Nevada Chair Rory Reid.
