Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is up today with a new ad in Nevada and six other battleground states highlighting her plan for families and specifically appealing to Latinos in those states.

The ad, titled “For Those Who Depend on Us,” notes Clinton’s plan for debt-free college, paid family leave, and equal pay for women.

“We go to work because others depend on us,” the narrator says. “Hillary Clinton gets it; standing up for families and children has been her life’s work.”

The ad also features a clip of Clinton hugging 11-year-old Nevadan Karla Ortiz, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention about how she fears coming home from school one day only to find her parents have been deported.

The ad will also air in Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
