Denish to campaign for Clinton in El Paso

After spending the weekend campaigning in Wyoming for Hillary Clinton, Lt. Gov. Diane Denish is headed to El Paso today to campaign for the senator in advance of Tuesday’s critical vote in Texas.

Clinton has been losing momentum in recent weeks and is locked in tight contests in Texas and Ohio that most analysts say she has to win to stay competitive against Barack Obama.

“This is a historic election, and I am happy to do whatever I can for Hillary Clinton,” Denish said in a release. “I have known her for years and am convinced she has the strength, substance and record to take on the critical issues facing our nation. I’m going to El Paso with my sleeves rolled up to do nitty-gritty campaign work – going to caucus sites, talking to voters and helping Senator Clinton become our next president.”

Denish will return to New Mexico on Wednesday.
