“I’m super excited to have Hillary here in Northern Kentucky,” says Tami Burgoyne of Covington. “She is the only person for this job and it is about time. She’s got the resume and she’s got the experience. We need Hillary.”
Former Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear introduced Clinton.
“She is the most qualified person to ever run for president,” Beshear told the crowd.
Clinton encouraged supporters to be confident and optimistic.
“I want you to understand that we have every reason to be confidant – every reason to be optimistic. I actually believe America’s best years can be ahead of us if we do what we have to do,” said Clinton.
Mackey McNeill, a Clinton supporter from Independence, was excited to have Clinton in Northern Kentucky.
“For me it’s so exciting to think about the first woman president, and I know that’s playing the woman card but that’s true for me,” says McNeill. “I agree with everything she stands for, pretty much, there are some minor differences, but I like her platform, and I like that she’s prepared – as most women would be.”
