Portsmouth Herald, Foster's (Daily Democrat) endorse Hillary Clinton in NH Democratic primary

seacoastonline.com

Of the three remaining Democrats seeking the party’s nomination for president, Hillary Clinton is clearly the most qualified. She has articulated a vision for the country that is both progressive and pragmatic and has demonstrated the ability and tenacity to achieve the ambitious goals she has set for herself and the nation.

She enjoyed great success during two terms as the U.S. senator from New York and improved America’s standing abroad during four pressure-packed years as secretary of state.

The people of New Hampshire know Hillary Clinton well and supported her during her previous run for president in 2008. Granite State Democrats and independent voters, having seen and heard Clinton with their own eyes and ears, have rejected the decades of distortions peddled by her political opponents. We know the real Hillary Clinton and we admire and respect her.

New Hampshire first got to know Clinton during her husband’s successful presidential runs in the 1990s. We continued to follow her career as first lady and as the two-term U.S. senator from New York. We respected her work following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and the care she took getting health benefits for first responders sickened in the aftermath. We admired her leadership in the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter pay Equity Act, the first bill signed into law by President Barack Obama.

Kissinger is not alone among Republicans who praise Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, until recently a presidential contender, called Clinton, “one of the most effective secretary of states, greatest ambassadors for the American people that I have known in my lifetime.”

A good endorsement, gave a statement about Hillary's record and hard work, she has accomplished lots and is recognized by many Congressional members and even Republicans. Thanks for the endorsement.
