Will She Be the First Woman President?
The people of New York elected Hillary Rodham Clinton to the United States Senate on November 7, 2000, after years of public service on behalf of children and families. She is the first First Lady of the United States elected to public office and the first woman elected independently statewide in New York State. A strong advocate for New York. Senator clinton works with communities throughout the state to strengthen the economy and expand opportunity. The Senator supports a return to fiscal responsibility because she knows that wise national economic policies are essential to protect America's future. She serves on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee; the Environment and Public Works Committee; the Special Committee on Aging; and she is the first New yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Hillary Clinton is not like most first ladies of the United States; she has something that she wants to make better. Therefore, early this year she announced that she would be running for president.
As you get ready to vote for president, make sure you make a wise decision not based on race, gender or religion.
