Related: About this forumCongressional Hispanic Caucus PAC to endorse Clinton
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/02/25/congressional-hispanic-caucus-pac-to-endorse-clinton/?tid=ss_twMembers of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are preparing to endorse Hillary Clinton for president in an effort to help her campaign secure critical Hispanic votes in next weeks Super Tuesday primaries.
Members of the groups political arm, CHC BOLD-PAC, began polling members Thursday evening to determine if they had sufficient support before announcing their endorsement, which could come as early as Friday morning. Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders have been battling it out for the Latino vote, a crucial voting block in November. And Clinton is relying on minority voters like Latinos and African-Americans to help propel her to the Democratic nomination.
There was a recommendation for Hillary to receive the nomination for endorsement, said BOLD-PAC executive committee member Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), the Hispanic Caucus whip.
It was pretty easy, Gallego said. For most of us that have either been involved with immigration issues or Latino issues, none of us have any history with Bernie. .... The endorsement could provide a critical boost for Clinton ahead of Super Tuesday primaries on March 1, which sweep 11 states through the South and include Colorado, Texas, Virginia, Minnesota and Vermont.
