2013 was an active year for Hillary Rodham Clinton. She began the year by ending her successful stint as Secretary of State in January. Following a few months off, she returned to the spotlight in April with a speech Vital Voices Leadership Awards. Throughout the year, Clinton gave 31 public speeches and attended a number of private events. She gave speeches at the Clinton Global Initiative events and launched a new initiative for women and girls for the Clinton Foundation. She finished off the year by being named Barbara Walters’ most fascinating person of 2013. Her high profile appearances fueled speculation that she is planning to run for president in 2016. During her interview with Walters, Clinton announced that she will make her 2016 decision sometime next year.
This site launched in November to collect all Clinton’s speeches as she decides whether to run for president in 2016. Moving forward, we will continue to post summaries and videos for all of her events in 2014, whether she decides to run for president or not.
