Clinton, Kaine Release Health Data

Following Hillary Clinton’s recent bout with pneumonia, Hillary for America released an updated letter from Clinton’s doctor, Dr. Lisa Bardack, and released a letter for the doctor of Senator Tim Kaine. The release from HFA is below, and the letter from Clinton’s doctor can be viewed HERE while Kaine’s letter can be viewed HERE.

Today, Hillary for America released comprehensive information updating the public on Secretary Hillary Clinton’s personal health. The information provides an update to the last disclosure of Secretary Clinton’s health information in July 2015.

The campaign also released comprehensive health information on Senator Tim Kaine.

Clinton’s updated information was provided in the form of a letter from Dr. Lisa Bardack, who is Chair of Internal Medicine at CareMount Medical in Mount Kisco, NY.

Kaine’s update is provided in the form of a letter from Dr. Brian P. Monahan, who is the attending physician of the U.S. Congress.

“It’s fair to say the public now knows more about Hillary Clinton than nearly anyone in public life,” said Robby Mook, Hillary for America Campaign Manager. “Hillary Clinton’s release of updated medical information today meets a standard followed by presidential candidates like Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Additionally, Hillary has made public nearly 40 years of tax returns over her lifetime. In stark contrast, Donald Trump is hands down the least transparent presidential nominee in memory. His Doctor Oz charade is as completely unserious as his original joke of a letter written in five minutes. He continues to hide his taxes and business dealing behind fake excuses. And it begs the question: what is he trying to hide?”

Hillary Clinton Focuses on Gun Violence Prevention in New York

On Monday, Hillary Clinton attended a number of campaign events across New York. In Port Washington, Clinton and Congressman Steve Israel hosted a round table discussion on the prevention of gun violence. During the event, Clinton explained the importance of introducing federal regulations of gun sales and mandatory background checks. The state of New York, for example, has strict gun laws, but people wanting to purchase a gun can get around them by going to neighboring states such as Vermont. Clinton said, “Here’s what I want you to know: most of the guns that are used in crimes and violence and killings in New York come from out of state. And the state that has the highest per capita number of those guns that end up committing crimes in New York come from Vermont.” She continued, “So this is not, ‘Oh, you know, I live in a rural state, we don’t have these problems.’ This is, you know what? It’s easy to cross borders. Criminals, domestic abusers, traffickers, people who are dangerously mentally ill — they cross borders, too. And sometimes they do it to get the guns they use. This has to become a voting issue for those of us who want to save lives.”

Clinton also spent some time in Queens where she spoke with patrons at the Jackson Diner. Following her visit, she took a few questions from reporters and criticized rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, for his inability to answer certain questions about his plans and his record. She said, “I have noticed that under the bright spotlight and scrutiny here in New York, Sen. Sanders has had trouble answering questions. He’s had trouble answering questions about his core issue, namely dealing with the banks. He’s had trouble answering foreign-policy questions. So I look forward to a debate that is in New York with people asking the kinds of questions that New Yorkers ask.”

Hillary also attended two fundraisers in the state. The first was in Mount Kisco and was held at the home of Marco Masotti and Tracy Stein. The second event of the day was in Glen Cove and was hosted by Mindy and Jay Jacobs, Laurie and Marty Scheinman. Also attending the event was Congressman Israel.

Hillary Clinton Speaks to Press in NY, Attends Fundraisers

On Thursday, Hillary Clinton was in New York City where she spoke at a brief press conference outside of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Clinton was primarily asked about the upcoming New York primary and the race between her and Bernie Sanders. Clinton avoided criticizing Sanders directly and said that it was going to be important to unite the party against the Republicans in November. She said, “I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any time. Let’s keep our eye on what’s really at stake in this election. We have Republicans whose values are so antithetical to what is right for New York or right for America.” A full video of the press conference is below.

While in New York, Clinton also attended a fundraiser in Mount Kisco. The event was held at the home of Marco Masotti and Tracy Stein. Clinton then traveled to Denver, Colorado where she attended a fundraiser. Also attended the event were Governor John and Robin Hickenlooper.
