Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will speak at the University of Nevada, Reno on Saturday.
Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, will be joined by U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., at a summit organized by the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, the Center for Community Change and others.
With the New Hampshire primary behind them, Sanders and Hillary Clinton, his rival Democratic presidential candidate, are continuing to plan events ahead of Nevada's Feb. 20 Democratic caucus.
Clinton will be in Nevada on Saturday and Sunday to rally voters, campaign officials said. Details of the visit were not immediately available.
On Thursday, Feb. 18, Sanders and Clinton will attend a Las Vegas town hall focusing on the state and the Latino community, sponsored by the Nevada State Democratic Party.
The Republican caucus is set for Feb. 23.
Sanders won Tuesday's New Hampshire primary by a double-digit percentage.
