Hillary Clinton has ‘best plans to tackle the challenges’

Last week, I was proud to join the majority of members of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus to express my support for Hillary Clinton.
I support Hillary because she has the best plans to tackle the challenges facing our community and a record of following through on her promises. As a young lawyer with the Children’s Defense Fund, Hillary worked on juvenile justice reform and fought to end school segregation in Alabama. Throughout her career, Hillary has worked to advance civil rights and access to health care.
President Obama chose Hillary as a partner in his administration as secretary of state. And in this role, she represented American interests well across the globe. Moreover, she is the only candidate who has promised to protect and build on one of President Obama’s most important accomplishments: The Affordable Care Act that has helped 18 million Americans obtain health insurance.
Hillary has called out systemic racism for what it is — in Flint, Mich., and in our broken criminal justice system — and laid out steps she will take as president to guarantee justice and invest in communities that have been left behind.
I’ll be voting for Hillary on March 1 in Richmond, and I hope to see many of you at the polls. Remember, one vote can make the difference!
