Many women throughout the state supported Clinton because she is an assertive woman who was come out from behind her husband's shadow. Jackie was a trophy figurehead and Hillary completely sheds that image. She'll be good for New York State and the women's liberation movement. Documentary filmmaker Tania Cuevas Martinez said she's excited at what Clinton can do to help people of color and undocumented Mexican workers in New York. I support her as a woman, but I want to see what she does.
Actions speak louder than words.
What Clinton had going for her was that she was aware of national Latino issues from her unique vantage as First Lady. In New York, we hope she listens for Latino issues and can break through all the partisan politics.
