Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is reaching out to North Texans next week.

After announcing a local public event late last month, her campaign offered more details Friday. It will be at 1:15 p.m. Tuesday in the gymnasium at the Mountain View College in Dallas. Doors will open at noon.


Styled as a Texas grassroots organizing event with Clinton, the event at the college, 4849 W. Illinois Ave., takes place..............

Clinton, the front-runner in the Democratic presidential race, is the latest candidate to head to North Texas, hoping to claim a portion of Texas’ delegates when voters go to the polls for the presidential primary on March 1, 2016.

“Clinton’s trip will be her latest effort to build support in primary states and a grassroots organization beyond the four early states, and work hard for every vote ahead of the March 1st Texas primary,” her campaign statement said.

The four early states — the only four to hold primary elections or caucuses before Texans head to the polls — are Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. On March 1, Texas is one of 10 states to hold primary elections.

...and it takes 11 hours to drive across all of it. Rally speeches will only get you so far. You need a lot of volunteers AND a campaign team to organize them.
