Lilia Chacon, a former press secretary to Chicago's city treasurer and former television journalist, has been added to Sanders' political team as his Iowa campaign for the Democratic nomination has gained support.

The U.S.-born daughter of immigrants, Chacon, 61, said her hiring reflects a stepping-up by the campaign of its Hispanic outreach. Two other staffers on the campaign are Latino, she said.

"His message is really going to resonate with the Hispanic community, with (his platform of) income equality, with labor, with access to education, with putting the brakes on mass incarceration, which includes detention for deportation," said Chacon, who is currently handling his Iowa media but also is in charge of Latino media.
