Clinton to speak to Latino conference
In her first major public appearance since suspending her presidential campaign, Sen. Hillary Clinton will speak Thursday to about a thousand members of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO).
The event will take place in Washington at the group’s annual conference, according to a press release.
“Senator Clinton has been a real champion for our community,” said Adolfo Carrion, Jr., NALEO president. “We’re excited to continue the conversation about how we move the country forward on the issues we all care about.”
Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama, the presumptive Republican and Democratic presidential nominees, will also speak at the convention in separate forums on Saturday, June 28.
On the same night, NALEO will give an award for outstanding public service to New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, often mentioned as a possible running mate for Obama.
