Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will visit Las Vegas later this month to discuss Latino issues at a national conference for elected and appointed officials.

Clinton will speak June 18 to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.

It will be her second visit to Las Vegas since announcing her candidacy in April. Last month, Clinton was at Rancho High School, where she spoke to a small group of activists and advocated for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Clinton’s visit this month will be part of a tour of early primary and caucus states, following an official campaign kick-off in New York City on June 13. She’ll spend time in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina before coming to Las Vegas.

In Las Vegas, the former secretary of state is expected to address issues important to the Latino community for about 30 minutes starting at noon.

The appearance is closed to the public and open only to conference attendees and the media.

The conference will take place at the Aria from June 17-19.

Also scheduled to speak at the conference are U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, congressional candidate Nevada Sen. Ruben Kihuen, state Sen. Mo Denis and Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams, all Democrats.
