James Bilbray

Former Rep. James Bilbray (D-NV) with Congressman and former Navy Vice Admiral Joe Sestak (D-PA) at "Special Policy Discussion."It was a busy weekend for Hillary Clinton’s Nevada campaign as the mayor of the second largest city in the United States and the highest-ranking veteran in congressional history both campaigned in Clark County for the New York Senator.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is one of Clinton’s national campaign chairs, was in Las Vegas both Saturday and Sunday, participating in first a canvass kick-off meeting and then one of Clinton’s “Caucus 101” training events.  Villaraigosa joined Nevada Assemblyman Ruben Kihuen, whose endorsement was considered a political coup for the Clinton campaign, in knocking on doors Saturday after the kick-off, adding a touch of political celebrity to what is usually campaign drudgery.

Former Congressman James Bilbray (D-NV) accompanied Clinton’s other big-name surrogate this weekend, Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), who as a former Navy Vice Admiral is the highest-ranking veteran to ever serve in the House of Representatives.  Sestak attended a “Special Policy Discussion” on foreign affairs in Henderson, aimed at bringing in veterans and policy wonks.

If Hillary Clinton wants to protect her lead among Democrats who will vote in Nevada’s January 19 presidential caucus, it doesn’t hurt to send her number one surrogate to town.

Former President Bill Clinton was in Las Vegas on Monday, addressing a Democratic rally at the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, and a convention of the American Postal Workers Union – where he slammed Republicans for their criticism of comments his wife made on driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants.
