Bill and Chelsea Campaign on the West Coast

On Tuesday, Bill and Chelsea Clinton campaigned for Hillary Clinton on the West Coast. In Washington, Chelsea made two stops in Tacoma where she spoke about her mother’s experience and leadership. During her first stop at Bates Technical College, she also spoke about the progress made by President Barack Obama and how important it is for a Democrat to succeed him in the White House. At both events, she urged voters to support Hillary in Saturday’s caucus saying, “I’m going to keep talking to as many people as I can here in Washington in advance of Saturday, but really around the country about what’s at stake and why standing on the sidelines is just not an option.” Videos from today’s events will be added when/if available.

While in Washington, Chelsea attended a lunch fundraiser in Seattle. The event took place at the home of Linda Derschang and was hosted by Derschang, Makini Howell, Tamara Murphy and Linda Morton, Molly Moon Neitzel, Angela and Ethan Stowell, and Washington Entrepreneurs for Hillary.

Bill meanwhile attended two fundraisers in California. The first was in Santa Barbara and was hosed by Susan Rose and Allan Ghitterman. The second event of the day was La Cañada Flintridge. The fundraiser was hosted by Teena Hostovich and John J. Kennedy at the home of Hostovich and Doug Martinet. As with all private events, the fundraisers were closed to the press.

Bill, Chelsea Return to Campaign Trail

On Sunday, Chelsea and Bill Clinton returned to the west coast to campaign for Hillary Clinton. In Arizona, Bill Clinton attended two Get Out the Vote rallies before Tuesday’s primary. The first rally was in Tuscon where he was joined by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly. During Bill’s speech, he spoke about Hillary’s plans to enact common sense gun control and introduce required background checks when purchasing a firearm. He also spoke about immigration reform, which is a hot button issue in Arizona. Throughout his speech, he stressed the importance of the 2016 election and urged voters to support Hillary on Tuesday. A video from the event is available on C-SPAN.

Bill then attended a Get Out the Vote event in Phoenix. Speaking from Central High School, Bill addressed the national mood saying that he understands why people are angry, but we need to vote for someone who is going to make a difference and not someone who is full of rhetoric. Again, he touched on a number of key platform topics including immigration reform, health care, and economic equality. He concluded by asking for Arizona’s support on Tuesday, saying, “Needless to say, we had a pretty tough campaign eight years ago, and Arizona voted with us. I hope you will again on Tuesday.” A video of his speech is below.

Chelsea was in California where she attended three fundraisers. The first was held at the Los Angeles home of Elsa and Jarron Collins. The second event, hosted by Elsa Collins, featured a bicycle ride in West Hollywood. For the final event of the day, Chelsea was joined by actresses Lena Dunham and America Ferrera at NeueHouse Hollywood in Los Angeles.

Two additional fundraisers were held on Sunday. The first was a reception with Campaign Manager Robby Mook in Dallas, Texas. The fundraiser took place at the home of Jorge Baldor. In Seattle, Washington, a fundraiser was held at the home of Jen Lamson and Ric Ilgenfritz.

Bill Clinton on the Campaign Trail

This week, Bill Clinton began hosting private and public events on behalf of his wife and Hillary for America. On Thursday, Clinton visited Cedar Rapids and Dubuque, Iowa where he took the opportunity to meet with several voters and hold two organizing events. His speeches were similar in that he spoke about the importance of electing a Democrat as president in 2016, and the best candidate for the job is Hillary Clinton. He spoke of her qualifications, and said that she is the best qualified person for the job. He said, “I do not believe in my lifetime, we have had a president that was more prepared, not only by experience but by temperament, to step in to this incredible mix of promise and peril. Ever. I don’t think it’s close.” A video from one of his speeches is below.

Former president Clinton also attended several private fundraisers over the last several days. Beginning on Wednesday, January 6, Clinton attended a New York City fundraiser hosted by the NY Film and TV for Hillary. On Friday, Clinton was scheduled to attend a fundraiser at the Paradise Valley, Arizona home of Dr. Nadeem and Hajra Kazi. He then flew to Seattle, Washington to attend a fundraiser at the Century Ballroom. Today, he was scheduled to appear at a fundraiser hosted by James Griffin in Los Ranchos, New Mexico before flying to Ohio to attend a fundraiser at the DiGeronimo Residence in Independence. As with all private fundraisers, they were closed to the press.
