Hillary Clinton released a new ad in Iowa highlighting her lifelong history of fighting for children and families.

The 60-second ad, called Children, uses a documentary style approach and shows Clinton at different points in her life standing up for the rights of children and families. It pieces together different clips of Clinton giving speeches to demonstrate her ongoing support.

"One of the areas that I've been particularly interested in is the area of children," a younger Clinton said in the first clip in the ad.

"We intend to be sure that everybody in this room and every child in this state is somebody," she said in another clip.

During the ad, Clinton said every child deserves a chance to "live up to his or her God-given potential." Children's futures are shaped by the values of their parents and the policies of the nation, she said.

"It's time to protect the next generation," she said.

"I've spent my life fighting for children, families and our country and I'm not stopping now," she said at the end of the ad.

Clinton helped start the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, launch the Children's Health Insurance Program and create the permanent position of ambassador-at-large for global women's issues, her campaign said in an email.
