Presidential Race 2016: Salma Hayek Joins 'Latinos For Hillary,' Backs Clinton for President

Actress Salma Hayek has made public her support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and the star is helping the candidate launch "Latinos For Hillary."

On Oct. 1, Clinton announced that she will be launching "Latinos For Hillary," a campaign to coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month, reported NBC News.

The initiative will involve several events in the next few weeks that will all focus on garnering the support of Latino voters, including an interview with Telemundo's Maria Celeste Arraras, as well as a speech at the Congressional Hispanic Conference Institute's annual awards gala on Oct. 8.
