In English: Obama reaches out to the Spanish community.
LAS VEGAS - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has begun airing a Spanish-language ad on radio stations in Nevada, introducing himself as a "son of a foreign father."
The 60-second ad, the campaign's first media buy in the state, emphasizes Obama's religious affiliation, his call for unity and his father's background as a Kenyan who moved to the United States to study.
As a son of a foreign father who came to this country looking for a better life, Barack Obama learned that differences do not divide, but rather enrich," the ad says.
Hispanics make up nearly a quarter of the population in Nevada and are expected to be a key voting bloc for Democrats competing in the state's Jan. 19 caucus, the second in the nation.
"If you still want to know more, let us tell you Barack Obama is a Christian man committed to our community, his wife and his daughters," it says in Spanish.
The ad is running on stations in Las Vegas and Reno.
In July, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was the first Democrat in the field to launch radio ads, both in English and Spanish, in Nevada.
