Family Strong | Hillary Clinton
2 Video Views·May 14, 2025
All her life, Hillary Clinton has been guided by the lesson she learned from her mother, Dorothy: When families are strong, America is strong. Watch one of her first 2016 TV ads to learn more.
Her parents abandoned her when she was just eight years old.
She was mistreated, but she never gave up.
And she taught me to do the same.
My mom's life and what she went through
are big reasons why standing up for kids and families
became such a big part of my life.
After law school, she could have gone to a big firm,
but instead went to work for the Children's Defense Fund.
In Arkansas, she fought for school reform
to change lives forever.
Then as first lady,
she helped get healthcare for 8 million kids.
You probably know the rest.
The senator who made sure the heroes and families of 9-11
got the care they needed.
The secretary of state who joined the cabinet
of the man who defeated her.
Because when your president calls, you serve.
And now a new title, Grandma.
I believe that when families are strong,
America is strong.
It's your time.
I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this message.
