Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton will appear Monday at a get-out-the-vote event in Phoenix, a day before Arizona's presidential primary.

Clinton's campaign confirmed Thursday that the former Secretary of State "will discuss her plans to break down racial, social and economic barriers for families as president."

The event will be held at 3:30 p.m. Monday at Carl Hayden Community High School, 3333 W. Roosevelt St., Phoenix.

The campaign asks people planning to attend to RSVP.

Clinton and her chief rival for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, are fighting for votes in Arizona. Sanders held a downtown Phoenix rally on Tuesday and is set to hold a town-hall gathering Thursday evening near Flagstaff.

Both the Clinton and Sanders campaigns are running television ads in Arizona. One Clinton commercial includes an endorsement from former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., while Sanders has three spots showcasing his supporter Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz.

On the Republican side, GOP front-runner Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas are also expected to stump in Arizona ahead of Tuesday's presidential preference election.
