Democratic Presidential Candidate Martin O'Malley to Deliver NCLR Keynote.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democratic presidential candidate, will deliver the keynote address at the National Council of La Raza's (NCLR) annual conference.

O'Malley has been confirmed to address Latino advocates and leaders on July 13, where he is expected to discuss the issues confronting the electorate. As Latino Decisions told Latin Post, the economy, education and immigration have been top issues for Latinos. According to NCLR, the former Maryland governor will also speak about jobs and civil rights.

"Governor O'Malley is the only candidate in the race with a proven record of helping Latino families," said Gabi Domenzain, the O'Malley campaign's Director of Public Engagement, in a statement to Latin Post. "From championing drivers licenses for New Americans, passing the DREAM act in the legislature and leading Maryland to become the first state to defend it at the ballot box, to increasing government contracts to latino owned businesses by 157 percent and making MD public schools the best in the nation five years in a row."

"From the start he has engaged the Latino community through its media, appearing on both Univision and Telemundo national networks, and its organizations; in fact his first event after launching his presidential bid was before the USHCC (U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce)," added Domenzain. "We look forward to continuing to engage Americans and New Americans alike at the National Council of La Raza to highlight Governor O'Malley's record of leading on the most pressing issues affecting them todayand putting forth his vision for new leadership that gets results."

The 2015 NCLR Annual Conference will occur in Kansas City, Missouri, from July 11 through July 14.
