Clintons Campaign Across the Country

On Friday, Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea Clinton were on the campaign trail and fundraising for Hillary for America. Chelsea was the only Clinton holding public events today. She began in Kentucky where she held an organizing event at the opening of the new Hillary for America office in Lexington. Chelsea addressed supporters who turned out to greet her saying that her mother is the best candidate for president because of her experience and her willingness to work with those who have good ideas, not just people who are a part of the Democratic Party. While in the area, Chelsea also attended a fundraiser in Frankfort that was hosted by Jennifer A. Moore and The Honorable Crit Luallen and Lynn Luallen.

Chelsea then traveled to Indiana where she spoke with supporters at the Hillary for Indiana office in Indianapolis. She spoke about Hillary’s plans to continue the improvement of the health care system and the expansion of early childhood education. As a mother, and a mother to be, Chelsea said that she believes that Hillary is the best candidate for her children’s future. She spoke about her mother’s experience saying, “… it really matters to me that my mom is the only person running for president who has a strong record in being able to deliver progress in areas like healthcare reform and education reform and women’s rights and human rights that she doesn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, that she’s willing to work with whomever she needs to work with to be able to get the job done.” While in Indianapolis, Chelsea attended a fundraiser hosted by Senator Evan Bayh, Susan Bayh, and Melina Kennedy.

Bill was in Florida where he attended a series of fundraisers. The first was in Tallahassee and was hosted at the home of Allison Tant and Barry Richard. The second event was in Sarasota and hosted by Nancy Parrish. The final event of his was was in Heathrow and hosted by John Morgan.

Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 15, 2015

Hillary Rodham Clinton returned to the Granite State on Monday where she made three stops: Rochester, Concord, and Manchester. In Manchester this evening, Clinton attended a Flag Day dinner, but the main two events took place earlier in the day. In Rochester, she attended an early childhood education summit at the YMCA where she spoke about the importance of early childhood education and her plan to provide universal preschool across the country. Before leaving the YMCA, Clinton took time to read a book to the children.

In Concord, Clinton held a campaign rally where she made it clear that her campaign was not about her husband, former President Bill Clinton, or President Barack Obama. She is running as herself. She said, “I will do what works … and I will be laying out policies that will give you a very clear idea of the direction I will head.” She reiterated the four fights that she spoke first about at the campaign rally held in New York on Saturday.

On Wednesday, Clinton is scheduled to be in South Carolina. Be sure to follow along on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
