A first-of-its-kind media campaign launches in Arizona on Wednesday in hopes of boosting Hispanic voter registration to historic highs.

A new public service announcement co-produced by the state's largest Spanish-language television and radio stations is set to air roughly 2,500 times through Election Day on Univision and Telemundo television stations and will feature DJs and talk show hosts from some of the state's most popular Spanish-language radio stations, according to organizers.

The campaign is the brainchild of Mi Familia Vota, a nonpartisan voter registration group that is seeking to register roughly 95,000 new Latino voters in six states this year. While volunteers are rounding up new registrants in California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Texas, Arizona is seen as the crown jewel of the effort this year. That's because no other state has been on the front lines of the years-long immigration policy fights and Hispanic leaders are eager to demonstrate their community's growing political clout in the state.


Recent polls show Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton neck-and-neck with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
But there are two other races of note in the state: The reelections of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio -- a world-renowned champion of strict immigration enforcement who is widely loathed across Hispanic America for his support of strict border controls and use of racial profiling to round up undocumented immigrants. The Justice Department may soon decide whether to charge him with federal contempt-of-court charges for defying orders to stop using his racial profiling tactics..............................

We will see a steady amount of new activity in key states from Labor Day through Nov.
Count on Sen Kaine to campaign in AZ.

I suppose this is the real reason Trump suddenly visits Mexico.
Its either an appeal to Hispanic voters or knowing he will never be Pres, he's busy making some private & profitable business deals with Mexico's President for post-election, all on the Republican Partys dime while it lasts.
(I believe it is the latter).

Hillary & Kaine will be joined by VP Biden & yes, President Obama after Sept 1st in at least a dozen battleground States rallying people to VOTE and it appears to be an all out, well coordinated, final 2 month campaign grand finale'.

Your OP pretty much says we should expect exactly what the Clinton campaign strategy has been all along.

I trust their brilliant & methodical 50 State approach.
They are a superior organization and watch these last 60 days for proof. They will bring it all neatly together by Nov 8th.

I posted in Good Reads about Obama & Biden stepping out to campaign for Hillary & GOTV.

Here We Go All..Whoo Hooo!!! FINALLY !!
