Hillary, Denver Co., Nov 24
Hillary Clinton made her first campaign stop in the Mile-High City, Nov. 24, meeting with supporters and sharing her stance on key issues.
Following a morning rally in Boulder, Clinton came to Denver for a second rally held at Manual High School. The school boasts a history of having students who have gone on to win political positions across the country, including Denver’s first African-American mayor, Wellington Webb, who spoke at the rally.
“One of the things I learned early on in my career is to find people that are willing to fight for everyone,†Webb said, speaking to attendees before Clinton’s arrival. “Hillary Clinton has always been on the front line willing to fight for women, for children, for families. She’s there when others aren’t and she doesn’t back down and she’s willing to fight for those issues that will make America great.â€
The rally drew a crowd of nearly 1,000 supporters who packed themselves into the school’s gymnasium. Some came with signs made in support of Clinton while others led chants, all of them eager to see the presidential hopeful in person.
After an introduction by Denver mayor Michael Hancock, Clinton came up onto the stage to Katy Perry’s “Roar†and the thunderous cheers of the crowd. Once things settled down, she began speaking.
