A big thank you to Scan for keeping this series active while I was on vacation! I'm still getting caught up on all of the news I missed, so bear with me as I get back in the swing of things!
Kicking off today's edition of Hillary News & Views with a big endorsement out of New Hampshire. WMUR Manchesterreports:
It’s been expected for well more than a year. But Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s official endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president on Saturday will come at an important time...Shaheen, a former three-term governor who remains popular in the state after winning a second senate term in November 2014, will make her endorsement official at a “Women for Hillary” event at the Portsmouth municipal complex on Parrot Avenue. Doors for the event open at 10 a.m.
“At the event, Clinton will discuss the challenges that women worldwide still face, to mark the 20th anniversary of her speech in Beijing, China, where she declared ‘human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all,’” according to an announcement by the Clinton campaign...
In an email Sunday, Shaheen wrote: “I’ve always put New Hampshire first. You know that -- and a year ago, you helped me prove how much that matters. Now it’s time for us to come together again for a president who will fight for all of us, just like you fought for me. New Hampshire is a special place to Hillary -- always has been, always will be.
“So join me in Portsmouth this weekend to show our support for a president who will stand up to help Granite Staters get ahead and stay ahead,” Shaheen wrote.
