On Sunday, Hillary Clinton was in northern California where she began the morning by attending Sunday services at the Greater St. Paul Church in Oakland. She spoke with the congregation briefly saying that, if elected president, she will ask herself everyday, “What can I do that day to make it possible for every child to live up to their God-given potential?” Clinton spoke about a number of key issues she would like to address including raising the minimum wage, creating jobs, reducing gun violence, and reforming the criminal justice system. She said that America is at its best when everyone works together to achieve a common goal, and divisive politics is not helping anyone. She vowed to work with members of both parties to continue the progress of the last eight years. A video of Clinton’s address is below:
Clinton then attended a round table discussion with city leaders in Vallejo. Meeting at a local restaurant, Clinton first spoke about a number of topics she believes to be central to the 2016 election. She spoke about her plans for immigration reform, criminal justice reform, education, and health care. She then listened to the concerns of local city leaders and business owners. Each day, Clinton has held at least one round table discussion because she believes they are important. “I do think it’s important to hear from people directly,” she said. Clinton stressed the importance of a community to work together toward common goals, and she said that while the state and federal governments have a role, local decisions are very important. A video from the event is below.
Her final event was a rally in Sacramento where she spoke to a crowd of supporters at Sacramento City College. During her speech, Clinton took a number of shots at Republican nominee Donald Trump, but she did so while covering a number of key platform points. She spoke about her plans to grow the economy and create jobs, assist those with mental health, help those suffering from addiction, and combat climate change. Clinton concluded by asking for voters’ support in Tuesday’s primary. A video from the event will be added when/if available.
