HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Hillary Rodham Clinton says pay equity between men and women, more generous parental leave policies and a higher minimum wage are not issues of importance merely to women but concerns that go to the heart of why it's "hard to get ahead and stay ahead in America."
The Democratic presidential contender offered a sweeping argument at a women's conference Wednesday for why she is the rightful successor to President Barack Obama, the man who handed her a humbling defeat seven years ago in the South Carolina primary.
Clinton focused many of her remarks on women and minorities, but said their concerns make up "an American economy issue" that touches everyone.
"It's time to make the words middle class mean something again," she told more than 200 members of the South Carolina Democratic Women's Council. "They should represent a solemn promise that anyone willing to work hard can earn a decent living and a better life, not just get by paycheck to paycheck."
