Clinton Talks To Hundreds Of Students & Supporters In Davie
October 2, 2015 5:10 PM


DAVIE (CBSMiami) – The front runner for the Democratic presidential candidacy made a stop in South Florida on Friday afternoon.

Hillary Clinton hosted a grass roots event to a crowd of students and supporters at Broward College’s Hugh Adams Central Campus in Davie.

Clinton kicked things off with her ideas for strengthening Florida families, including raising the minimum wage. She also spoke at length about the need to increase green energy and continuing the fight for women’s rights.

“I will defend a woman’s right to choose and I will fight against defunding planned parenthood,” she said to a crowd of cheers. “And I will defend and fight for marriage equality and against discrimination.”

However, her campaign’s new major is specifically targeting the Latin vote with her “Latinos for Hillary” initiative.

“We’re just trying to share her views, get as many votes as possible, trying to get as much voter turn-out as possible,” said campaign volunteer Matt Hersch.

Charles Zelden, a political scientist at Nova Southeastern University, said getting out the vote is going to be crucial – especially the Hispanic vote.

“For any Democrat, the Latino vote is essential. In the general election, they can’t win without the Latino vote,” said Zelden.
