Equal pay litigant Lilly Ledbetter endorses Clinton-HRC Room

Anne Gearan

DES MOINES, Iowa — Hillary Clinton won the endorsement Friday of the woman behind federal legislation making it easier for women to challenge their employers over unequal pay.

Lilly Ledbetter, namesake of the first law President Obama signed in 2009, said Clinton is a "fierce and uncompromising champion for women, for basic fairness, and for opportunity for everyone."

First law Obama signed!

Family Medical Leave Act was Bill Clinton's first bill!

First Republican bill in 2017? Repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Tell me again how there is no difference between the two parties.
