Clinton Campaign Woos Women In New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Supporters of Hillary Clinton in New Mexico are calling attention to the Democratic presidential candidate's policies and advocacy on women's issues.

The gathering on Saturday at a woman-owned business in Albuquerque highlights Clinton's proposals for equal pay for women, paid family and medical leave, and affordable childcare.

Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham of Albuquerque says she'll be there to talk to women about issues from pay equality to voting rights. Democratic State Reps. Sheryl Williams Stapleton and Debbie Armstrong also plan to attend with former New Mexico First Lady Clara Apodaca.

New Mexico votes June 7 in the final round of state primary contests between Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Lujan Grisham plans to cast her superdelegate ballot for Clinton at the Democratic National Convention this summer.
