Hillary Clinton visits home in Windham, New Hampshire

WINDHAM — Last night, Hillary Clinton brought her campaign to the Windham home of Susan and Henri Azibert. Several hundred locals gathered in the backyard of the 240 year old house in support of the presidential hopeful...



Clinton was introduced to the crowd by Laura Aguilar, the campaign’s Salem-area organizer. She shared the story of her immigrant parents, their hard work and her resulting graduation from Harvard University two months ago.



Drawing on the theme of Aguilar’s personal story, Clinton began the night by discussing, “the creation of a ladder that every American should have.”



“The center of my economic plan would be raising incomes for the middle class,” Clinton said. “Paychecks should reflect the hard work and productivity of Americans.”



The crowd’s applause was continuous as Clinton worked her way through a range of topics, from the heroin problem plaguing the Granite State, to worldwide climate change.



When Clinton wrapped up her speech and asked for any questions, almost every hand was raised. Clinton answered several questions about caring for veterans and seniors.



“Thank you for coming out here and talking to us like this,” a spectator yelled.
