Luis Gutierrez, Julián Castro and other well-known members of the Latino community are endorsing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The support could prove very vital in the upcoming Nevada caucuses on Saturday, Feb. 20.

"Hillary Clinton is different. I was proud to endorse her because she is the rare loyal candidate who has been fighting for us her entire career," Gutierrez wrote in an opinion piece. The Illinois Representative is famous even to young Latinos that influence the race between Clinton and rival Bernie Sanders.

Housing Secretary Castro said that Sanders will continue to let the Latino community down while he is sure that Clinton will be fighting for them. The 41-year-old Mexican-American is one of the possible vice presidential candidates.

The Latino Victory Fund that was co-founded by actress Eva Longoria and former San Antonio, Texas Mayor Henry Cisneros also endorsed Clinton. Cisneros was the housing secretary under Bill Clinton and the second Latino mayor of a major city in the U.S.

"In Bill Clinton's era we had the longest economic expansion in American history that lowered poverty rates and lowered unemployment rates and increased small business formations and improved people's succession to college," Cisneros said.

Clinton on Immigration Ad

The former first lady launched a new advertisement for Nevada when she consoled a 10-year-old girl whose parents in danger of being deported. Clinton looks very emotional in the ad while putting her arms around the girl.

"I'm going to do everything I can so you don't have to be scared, and you don't have to worry about what happens to your mom or your dad or somebody else in your family," Clinton said. She has focused on immigration issues during her campaign in Nevada where 30 percent of the population is made up of Latinos.

Sanders also made the same promises regarding immigration, but his campaign is focused on attacking Clinton's own immigration plan.  

Nevada Split Between Clinton, Sanders

In the latest poll, 48 percent of Nevada is supporting Clinton, but she has a very slim lead over Sanders. The former secretary of state is a popular candidate among women and immigrants for her foreign policy, health care and race relations.

Sanders, on the other hand, is the likely choice for people concerned with the economy as well as members of middle-class families. The senator Vermont is also leading in the national poll conducted by FOX News with 47 percent over Clinton, who got 44 percent.
