Congressional Hispanic Caucus PAC backs Clinton

By Gabriel Debenedetti

02/29/16 06:00 AM EST

The political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — CHC BOLD PAC — is set to endorse Hillary Clinton at a press conference at the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters on Monday morning, in yet another sign of the presidential front-runner’s strength in Washington and among Hispanic leaders.

The move is hardly a surprise considering that most of the caucus members are publicly backing Clinton, but it's still a useful endorsement as she looks to effectively seal the nomination against Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday. Among the states voting on Tuesday is Texas, which has a large Hispanic population.

Clinton will not be in attendance at the press conference, as she will be campaigning ahead of Tuesday’s Democratic contests in 11 states.

The PAC is chaired by California Rep. Tony Cardenas, a Clinton backer, and the caucus is led by fellow California Rep. Linda Sanchez, another Clinton endorser.
