Former President Bill Clinton will speak on behalf of his wife, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, to members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities at a forum in Las Vegas on Friday.

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson will also address attendees.


Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote (APIAVote) and the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) confirmed both speakers for the 2016 Presidential Election Forum, which will be held at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Donald Trump's campaign has been invited to the forum, and officials are awaiting a response.

The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus will also attend to speak about the importance of this year’s election, civic engagement and the community’s vote.

More than 3,000 Asian-American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander journalists, community leaders, executives, professionals, small business owners and student organizers are expected to attend the forum.

Last week, Hillary Clinton spoke at a conference for African-American and Hispanic journalists and media members during which she answered several questions, including about her private email server.
