Hillary Clinton campaigning in N.J. today

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/05/hillary_clinton_campaigning_in_nj_today.html

Clinton is scheduled to talk about her plans to raise wages for middle class workers. The event, being held about a month before primary voters here go to the polls, is Clinton's first public campaign stop in the Garden State since launching her nationwide bid.
...
The stop comes on the heels of Clinton expanding her staff in New Jersey. On Monday, her campaign announced it hired Democratic strategists Laura Matos as political director, Derek Roseman as communications director and Sarah Horvitz as organizing director.
...
Even though Sanders won the West Virginia primary on Tuesday, Clinton leads the race for the Democratic nomination.

Because Democrats award their delegates proportionally, Clinton also picked up delegates and came closer to the 2,383 she needed to be nominated on the first ballot this summer. She entered the day just 155 delegates short and picked up at least 10, according to the Associated Press. West Virginia will send 37 delegates to the convention.

Clinton has 2,239 delegates, including 523 superdelegates. Sanders trails with 1,469 delegates, including 39 superdelegates.
