Dems launch ad drive for Hispanics

BOSTON, July 29 (UPI) -- The New Democratic Network Thursday launched a new TV ad campaign aimed at Spanish-language voters, the Boston Globe said.

"The New Democratic Network is set to begin running Spanish-language-TV ads" on Thursday, the paper said. The ads will run in the states of Arizona, Florida, New Mexico, Florida, Colorado and Nevada, the paper said.

"The spots criticize Bush's record on health care and the minimum wage -- two issues that drew strong responses from Hispanic Caucus members" during speeches at the Democratic National Convention by Henry Cisneros, former secretary of Housing and Urban Development and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, the Globe said.
