January 30, 2008 -- America Ferrera, who plays Betty Suarez in the hit television series, Ugly Betty is showing her support for the only female presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton by announcing her endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

Ferrera, 23, will serve as national co-chairs of “HillBlazers,” the campaign’s youth outreach program and will campaign on behalf of Hillary in key states, including Nevada.

“This election is too important to stand on the sidelines, especially for my generation. I look forward to rallying young people to use their voices and get involved. I believe that Hillary Clinton can turn this country around,” said Ferrera. “I am confident she will be a champion for young women and men across the country.”

Ferrera, who speaks Spanish and bring in the Hispanic votes, has been recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives for being a role model for young Hispanics.  She has also been chosen by Time Magazine as of the top artists and entertainers in last year's “Time 100: The Most Influential People In The World” issue.

Meanwhile, the Ugly Betty actress isn't the only young female celebrity who is currently endorsing the former First Lady of the United States.  Amber Tamblyn, who is known for her role on Joan of Arcadia and who also co-stars with Ferrera in the film sequel of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, has also assumed the role of national co-chairman of Clinton's youth campaign.
