Hillary’s Supporters
Here is a list of some of the prominent leaders who have chosen to support Hillary in her run for the Senate.
Senator Patrick Daniel Moynihan
“I am here to say that I hope she goes all the way. I mean to go all the way with her. I think she’s going to win. I think she’s going to be wonderful for New York.”
Elie Wiesel
“Hillary has devoted her life for children. She has always been on the side of those who fight hatred and fanaticism…I support her fight, I support her ideals, and I support her.”
Congressman Charles Rangel
“The First Lady is committed to public service. I have worked closely with Hillary Clinton for more than seven years. She’s experienced, articulate, she knows the issues, knows what New York needs, and she’s a terrific lawyer. Hillary Clinton has been in the background; now she’s ready to hit the ground running.”
Robert Rubin
“The Vice President and Hillary are committed to continuing on the tough, but I think essential, path of fiscal discipline, which has been central to the last seven and half years which will continue to promote low interest rates, confidence and investment. Governor Bush and Representative Lazio have basically committed to an economic program that will reject fiscal discipline and go back to the policies that led to the morass of the late eighties and early nineties….In my judgment, there’s absolutely no question as to which path is best for our economy and for our society.”
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney
“Thanks to the Clinton Administration’s initiatives, we have the best economy in a generation. Crime, unemployment and inflation are way down, the minimum wage is up and fewer guns are on the streets.” New York is clearly a much stronger, safer and a more prosperous city. Achievements like these – and the promises of more to come – are why New Yorkers will support Hillary in whatever she undertakes.
We New Yorkers care about what you can do to continue to build the greatest city, state and country in the world. In the next election, our only consideration should be who can best serve the needs of New Yorkers and that person is Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
Joe Lieberman
“The people of New York can count on her to constantly fight against discrimination, to fight for principles, to be for the right thing. I would say to people in New York who care about the future of the state of Israel, I have been through this so many times, not just in a public way, but in a private way, and believe me, Hillary Clinton as a United States senator will be a strong, strong supporter of the state of Israel.”
New York State Comptroller H. Carl McCall
“New York has always been the world’s beacon, the place everyone everywhere looked to for the biggest, the best, the brightest. We need a Senator who captures the prestige, the prominence, the prowess that is New York State, but who also understands the needs of all New Yorkers, including those less fortunate. Hillary Rodham Clinton will be that Senator for New York State.”
Warren Buffet
“If Hillary were available for the private sector, I’d love to hire her for Berkshire Hathaway.”
Congresswoman Nita Lowey
“As New York’s first woman Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton will use her intelligence, energy and tenacity to fight for the issues that matter to all New Yorkers.”
