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 Denverâs first African-American mayor, Wellington Webb, who spoke at the rally.
âOne of the things I learned early on in my career is to find people that are willing to fight for everyone,â Webb said, speaking to attendees before Clintonâs arrival. âHillary Clinton has always been on the front line willing to fight for women, for children, for families. Sheâs there when others arenât and she doesnât back down and sheâs 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 schoolâs 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 Perryâs âRoarâ and the thunderous cheers of the crowd. Once things settled down, she began speaking.
