Hillary Clinton Campaigns in New Hampshire

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton wooed Hispanic voters Saturday in Nevada, a day after a swing through California.

Addressing a rally in Las Vegas, Clinton promised "to deliver on common sense," The New York Daily News reported. Most of those in attendance were Hispanic women and Democratic precinct captains.

Clinton was joined by Henry Cisneros, who served in President Bill Clinton's cabinet, and by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.

Clinton visited Los Angeles and San Diego Friday. She targeted union members and Hispanics in a speech at an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers training center in Los Angeles and an appearance at King Taco in East Los Angeles, The Los Angeles Times reported.

She was flanked by Hispanic politicians from California, including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Lt. Gov. John Garamendi and U.S. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard.
