ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON
Hillary Clinton has served as Secretary of State, Senator from New York, First Lady of the United States, First Lady of Arkansas, a practicing lawyer and law professor, activist, and volunteer, but the first things her friends and family will tell you is that she’s never forgotten where she came from or who she’s been fighting for throughout her life.
Hillary was raised in a suburb of Illinois where she attended public school and was raised a Methodist by her parents.
She attended Wellesley College, and went on to study law at Yale.
After attending Yale Law School, she went to work for the Children’s Defense Fund, going door to door in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
After serving as a lawyer for the Congressional Committee investigating President Nixon, she moved to Arkansas where she taught law and ran legal clinics representing poor people.
She co-founded Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, one of the state’s first child advocacy groups.
As First Lady under President Bill Clinton, Hillary tenaciously led the fight to reform our health care system so that all our families have access to the care they need at affordable prices.
Hillary led the U.S.
delegation to Beijing to attend the UN Fourth World Conference on Women and gave a groundbreaking speech, declaring that “human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all”—inspiring women worldwide and helping to galvanize a global movement for women’s rights and opportunities.
Hillary was then elected to the U.S.
Senate, becoming the first woman senator from New York.
She repeatedly worked across the aisle to get things done, including working alongside Republicans after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
When Congress wouldn't do enough for rural areas and small towns, Hillary didn’t back down.
She launched innovative partnerships with the tech industry and provided support to local colleges and small businesses.
When President Obama asked Hillary to serve as his secretary of state, she answered the call to public service once again.
She was a forceful champion for human rights, internet freedom, and rights and opportunities for women and girls, LGBT people and young people all around the globe.
Now she’s running for President because everyday Americans need a champion and she wants to be that champion.
