Hillary Clinton Adds Another Latina to Her Staff For Media Work




Xochitl Hinojosa, former press secretary for Labor Secretary Tom Perez, has begun work with the Hillary Clinton campaign to oversee a division of her media operation.

Hinojosa, 30, was hired as director of Coalitions Press, further building the presence of Latinos in the Clinton camp. The coalition media division of the campaign will house media operations for Latino, African American and other media.

Her hiring creates a second front in the family in the effort to have a Democrat succeed President Barack Obama in he White House. Hinojosa's father, Gilberto Hinojosa, is chairman of the Texas Democratic Party.

Although Republicans control every office in the state, about a third of voters in the state are Latino. However, more than a third of that Latino electorate has been a reliable vote for Republican candidates. Clinton won 66 percent of the Latino vote in Texas in the 2008 primary, according to Pew Research Center.
