#HillaryMen's Peter Daou: "My investment in Hillary is for my daughter's future." (HILLARY GROUP)
One of the biggest investments of my life has been the one I’ve made in Hillary Clinton. I began working for her in 2005 and in the decade since, I’ve devoted much of my time to defending her, supporting her, advising her, working to get her elected.
Just as parents establish funds for their children to provide financial security, my investment in Hillary is for my daughter’s future. It is for the things Hillary believes in and her capacity to get them done. And it is because she is a powerful woman in a world where women aren’t supposed to be Hillary Clinton.
Over the years, I’ve lived the peaks and troughs in Hillary’s support – times when she’s seen as indomitable, times when she’s seen as vulnerable, times when she’s portrayed as unstoppable, times when she’s portrayed as a failure.
The constants throughout those ups and downs are her inner fortitude, discipline, intelligence and dignity.
Her core is more solid than the core of her detractors, her perseverance greater than theirs, which is why she always prevails.
Betting on Hillary has always paid off, no matter what stage of her life, what the circumstances or the challenges. Now she stands on the cusp of an achievement like no other: smashing the ultimate gender barrier in U.S. politics. Because that achievement threatens those who have bet against her, she is being subjected to withering assault.
This is nothing new. In 2010, I took to the Huffington Post with a full-throated defense of her leadership and integrity during the 2008 campaign....
That post presages the #HillaryMen project I co-founded with Tom Watson, an endeavor that has met with a very positive reception, to our great delight and appreciation. It gives us tremendous satisfaction to play a role, however modest, in electing Hillary America’s first woman president....
