Hillary Clinton Campaigns in Colorado, Nevada

Hillary Clinton kicked off the day with a rally in Pueblo, Colorado where she spoke to supporters at the state fairgrounds. Clinton went after Republican Donald Trump for his divisive campaign and comments about women, immigrants, and Muslims. She attacked his business practices, including buying Chinese steel saying, “If he wants to make America great again, make America great again with American steel.” Clinton then spoke about a number of platform points including comprehensive immigration reform, investing in the infrastructure and clean energy, and making public colleges tuition free for families making less than $125,000 per year. A video of Clinton’s speech is below.

Clinton then traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada where she spoke at a rally on the ground of the Smith Center for the Performing Arts. During her speech, she spoke about the importance of the election given the recent revelations about Trump and his divisive campaign. She urged everyone to register to vote before next Tuesday’s deadline, then vote on November 8th. Clinton added, “Friends don’t let friends vote for Trump!” A video from the event is below.

Clinton Hosts Community Events in Iowa

For her second day in Iowa, Clinton attended two town hall events. The first was at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon. Clinton spoke briefly about the primary points of her platform before taking questions from those in attendance. Among the topics that Clinton covered were gun control, Kim Davis’, Rowan County, Kentucky County Clerk, refusal to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, and her distaste for super PACs. Specifically about PACs and their lack of transparency, Clinton said, “I and others have said we’re not going to unilaterally disarm while the Republicans and the Koch brothers are out there raising money that they don’t even tell you where it came from.”

Later in the afternoon, Clinton took part in a town hall at the Westfair Amphitheater on the fairgrounds in Council Bluffs. Clinton addressed a number of topics including the economy, equal pay for women, immigration reform, gun control, and making higher education more affordable. Heath care continues to be a topic for concern for Clinton, and she continues to call for lower prescription drug prices saying, “We need people who are just going to rise up —you have to sell drugs at affordable prices in this country. That’s what I’m going to be fighting for every single day.”

Videos from today’s events will be posted when/if available.

Tomorrow, Clinton is going to outline her plans for Wall Street reform and regulation, and she will be on hand at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala to present the CHCI Chair’s Medallion Award to world-renowned chef José Andrés.

Clinton Addresses Trade Agreement in Iowa

Following yesterday’s campaign rally, Clinton took her campaign message on the road today to Des Moines, Iowa. Speaking to a crowd at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Clinton covered a number of points that she hit on yesterday during the kick-off rally in New York, including the Four Fights that serve as the basis of her campaign platform.

For the first time, Clinton addressed the Trans Pacific Partnership trade proposal that has been opposed by Democrats in Congress. She expressed concern about the deal in its current form, but believes that the right partnership can benefit the United States. She said, “I kind of fall in the group that says ‘what’s in it?’ And ‘let’s make it as good as it can be, and then let’s make a decision.'”

While she was in Iowa, Clinton also stopped at a fundraiser in Burlington where she spoke with a group of about 80 people. The focus of her conversation was mental health, a subject that she has learned about by talking to people early in the campaign. She said, “That’s why I do this, I know people are interested to get the razzle-dazzle and the big rallies, but I want to hear from the people, I want to know whats actually happening so that I can come up with proposals that may actually change people’s lives.”

Thank you for an amazing Launch Party at the fairgrounds, Iowa! #Hillary2016 pic.twitter.com/Eo6siHIJYx
