10 months ago, I launched my campaign for president. Here are the things I’ll never forget- Hillary Clinton

Back in April, I began my journey as a presidential candidate with a visit to Iowa. Today — nearly 10 months and 160,000 miles of travel later — our campaign has come full circle: America’s first voters are about to begin electing our next president.

I knew I’d present my vision for where our economy should be in the 21st century. I knew we’d talk about national security, about how we can build on and improve the Affordable Care Act, and about my proposals to support small businesses, raise wages, and create good-paying jobs.

And of course, some topics have come into even sharper focus over the past few months: the threat of global terror, the need to take action on gun violence, attacks on reproductive health and rights, the epidemic of violence facing the transgender community, the need to take on systemic racism and stand up to bullies, the crisis in Flint.

I’ve introduced specific proposals for creating debt-free public college tuition, preventing and treating Alzheimer’s disease, supporting families affected by autism, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and curbing the substance abuse epidemic.

I got into this race because I want to improve the lives of all Americans — 

and I’m going to continue to work my heart out. I hope you’ll join me.
