Hillary for America Announces Arizona Leadership Council

 

Hillary for America announced the launch of its Arizona Leadership Council– a group of over 60 elected officials, community, and grassroots leaders who will help build a grassroots-driven volunteer team that will help Hillary Clinton win the Arizona primary on March 22nd. 

 

Leadership Council members share Clinton’s commitment to raising wages for the middle class, strengthening our nation’s infrastructure to create good-paying jobs, defending and enhancing the Affordable Care Act, ensuring that cost is not a barrier for students going to college, working towards a cure for Alzheimer’s and much more. You can learn more about Clinton’s agenda at https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/.

"Hillary Clinton has been a consistent advocate for comprehensive immigration reform and someone the Latino community has always been able to count on, said Congressman Ruben Gallego. “She’s a progressive who gets things done, while staying true to who she is. Latinos can count on Hillary Clinton — that’s why I’m with her."

“I’m endorsing Hillary, as she is the best candidate. She’s going to fight to bring the American dream within reach of hard-working families and individuals, said Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild. “She’s got the foreign policy experience and judgment, as well as the respect of world leaders. She cares deeply about issues that affect people’s lives and is going to work hard every day to make this a better country for everyone to live in, because that’s what she’s been doing her whole life. Hillary has more than a belief in change; she has a plan to make it happen. That’s why I’m supporting Hillary for president.”

 

“I am proud to support Hillary Clinton and to be part of her Leadership Council here in Arizona, said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, “Hillary has the experience and the values that we need. She will work tirelessly to raise wages for working Americans, rebuild our nation’s infrastructure, make sure all American have access to quality affordable healthcare and so much more. I look forward to working to help elect her the next president of the United States.”

 “I am proud to be a leader of Hillary Clinton’s campaign in Arizona. Throughout her career, Hillary has fought for children and families, especially those most in need of a champion, said community leader Carolyn Warner. “Her clear commitment to putting a quality education within reach for every child is what we need in the White House, and I know she is the only candidate who can achieve the real progress we need in Arizona and across the country.”

 

Over the course of the campaign, the Arizona Leadership Council will continue to expand.
