LAS VEGAS -- When Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed more than 1,200 Latino leaders here on Thursday, she drove home the importance of singing and reading to small children. She called for access to free community colleges and universal pre-school. She advocated paid sick and parental leave policies at workplaces everywhere.
The Democratic presidential front-runner's message was clear: To win over the fast-growing bloc of Latino voters in the 2016 election, Clinton will champion not only on comprehensive immigration reform, but also a broad suite of family issues.
"I think all our kids need the opportunity to get off to the best possible start, but too many of our children are starting off behind, especially in families where economic pressures on parents translate into less time for their kids," Clinton said in a 30-minute address to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.

NALEO is a non-partisan organization and is hosting two other presidential candidates during its three-day conference -- retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (R) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Yet there was little doubt how many of its members felt about Clinton's nascent candidacy. She was well received with loud bursts of applause and standing ovations.

Why should the Latinos think the GOP has anything good to offer, the GOP fights them on everything.

Latinos deserve to know that Hillary Clinton is looking out for her own political ambition instead of their interests," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement. "As she has proven time and again, Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected making big promises she wont and cant keep, just like President Obama."
