Hillary Clinton op-ed: Let's come together for a 'stronger, fairer America'
This election is all about change, Hillary Clinton wrote in an op-ed for USA Today published Sunday night, and "we can come together to build a stronger, fairer America, or fear the future and fear each other."
Clinton said that throughout her career as first lady, senator, and secretary of state, she spent time "listening to people and looking for common ground, even with people who disagree with me. And if you elect me on Tuesday, that's the kind of president I'll be." She outlined four priorities for her first 100 days, based on "issues I've heard about from Americans all over our country." First, she said, "we will put forward the biggest investment in new jobs since World War II," investing in "infrastructure and manufacturing to grow our economy for years to come." Clinton said she'd also "break the gridlock in Washington" by getting "secret, unaccountable money out of our politics," "introduce comprehensive immigration reform legislation," and "get started on end-to-end criminal justice reform."
Clinton said she wants to be president "for all Americans — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents; Americans of every race, faith, and background," and believes there's "nothing we can't achieve if we work together and invest in each other." Read the entire op-ed at USA Today.
