“And I have spent my adult life working to even the odds for people who’ve had the odds stacked against them. I helped break down barriers to education for poor and disabled children as a young lawyer; fought for health insurance for all, and have been committed to that since my days as First Lady; I worked to bring opportunity back to upstate New York as Senator; and went to bat for American workers and American businesses as your Secretary of State.

And everything I’ve learned, and everything I’ve done, has convinced me that we are stronger when we grow together.”
