Hillary Clinton 'Mujeres In Politics': Candidate's Campaign Focuses On Getting Latinas Involved In Civic Participation

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is relying on Latina staffers and volunteers to help her cleanly win early primary states like Nevada and Colorado, where woman and Latino voters will be key constituencies as she moves to consolidate gains against rival candidate Bernie Sanders.

As this article hits the web, Hillary Clinton will be preparing to address a middle school in the highly Hispanic Washoe County, Nevada. Hundreds and possibly thousands of Latina students, moms and other area residents are likely to attend, soaking in Clintons stump speech. But its not just Hillary Clinton who will be calling on Latinas in and around the Reno, Washoe to support the first viable female presidential candidate. Latinas from New York and other states will be phoning into Nevada as well, as part of a new Hillary campaign initiative called Mujeres in Politics.
"Latinas are the CEOs of their family and community and will play a critical role in securing the nomination," New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito told NBCs Suzanne Gamboa following a pro-Hillary phonebank in her city.
ADVERTISING
Hillary Clintons campaign in Nevada has been compared to Barack Obamas campaign, usually in the sense that it invests more in door-knocking and pavement-pounding and less in massive media buys. But Mujeres in Politics is similar to Obamas campaign organization Organizinf For Action* in another way as well: if successful, it could outlast the campaign.
Mujeres in Politics will be bilingual, according to Mark-Viverito, and focus not just on caucusing and voting for Clinton but also fights [Latinas] are waging and the importance of their civic participation, Gamboa reports...........................
