SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton continues to make a strong push in Upstate New York ahead of the state's April 19 primary.

Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, will travel to Buffalo and Rochester on Tuesday, April 5 to support his wife's campaign.

President Clinton will speak at Grapevine, a banquet hall in Depew, at 2:30 p.m. He will speak at the Laborers Union Local 435 in Rochester at 5:30 p.m. The events are free and open to the public. According to a press release, the former president will discuss "why Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to raise wages and breakdown all the barriers holding families back as president."

Bill Clinton will campaign Tuesday morning in Long Island before traveling upstate.

As the New York primary nears, Hillary Clinton has begun an aggressive statewide campaign. According to several polls she holds a significant lead in the state where she served as a U.S. Senator from 2001 to 2009.

In the past week, the Clinton campaign has hosted events in New York City, Westchester County, Albany and Syracuse. In Syracuse on Friday Clinton unveiled a $10 billion plan to bolster manufacturing in areas like Upstate New York.

Clinton's opponent, U.S. Senator Bernie Sander of Vermont, also plans to aggressively court New York voters. According to a March 31 poll from Quinnipiac University, Clinton holds a 12-point lead over Sanders in New York.
