Clinton picks up key Hispanic backer Nevada - Ruben Kihuen

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has landed a much-coveted endorsement in Nevada’s Hispanic community, a group that will be closely watched during the state’s early caucus.

Freshman state Assemblyman Ruben Kihuen said Saturday that he’s backing the New York senator, citing her education positions, health care plan and popularity in his largely working-class, Hispanic district in east Las Vegas.

“I agree with all of her views, but beyond that my constituents like her and they want to support her and it’s going to be my responsibility to get those people out to the caucus,” Kihuen told The Associated Press.”*
