Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton released new Spanish-language television and radio advertisements describing her platforms education and immigration reform.

TV Ad

The 30-second television advertisement opens with visuals of Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz before transitioning to footage of Clinton meeting with immigrants and youths and showing other non-Clinton b-roll of ethnic families.

"It's when things get tough... that you see the friends by your side," the television narrator said, originally in Spanish. "There is no other candidate who has fought as hard for our families as Hillary Clinton. She stands with us to achieve immigration reform and to keep families together. She fought to expand health care to millions of children. And her plan as President will put a college education within our reach."

"There is still much to do, but with a friend like Hillary, we keep moving forward," the narrator added, as the ad shows viewers texting information, with the word "Latinos," to receive further campaign details.

Radio Ad

The one-minute radio advertisement opens with a direct English quote from Clinton from a previous event, stating, "I believe in an America where everyone is treated with dignity, no matter who you are and where you come from."

The Spanish-speaking narrator then takes over stating the former secretary of state has "always been a friend" with the Spanish-speaking community, acknowledging her efforts to provide health care since her time as first lady and reiterating information for the television ad about college affordability, immigration reform and commitment to keep families together.

Ahead of the Nevada caucus on Feb. 20, home to a growing Latino population, Clinton's Nevada campaign organizer Natalie Montelongo speaks and invites listeners to caucus with her and promotes the text messaging details to know more about their caucus location.

The television ad, which was also uploaded on Clinton's official YouTube account, has attracted over 9,800 views since its Feb. 4 launch. Both ads are the first ad buys for Nevada's Hispanic media.

Republican Response

The Republican National Committee (RNC) hit back at Clinton's record, noting she has altered her platforms in order to get elected.

"If Hillary Clinton cared to be an amiga, she wouldn't mislead Latinos about her record," said RNC Hispanic Media Director Ruth Guerra in a statement. "When it comes to immigration reform and education, Hillary's record is one of flip-flops and political convenience at the expense of Latinos. The truth is Clinton will say anything to get elected, which is why the majority of Americans find her to be dishonest and untrustworthy."
