Clinton Campaign Announces Hillary for Tennessee Leadership

Council
The Clinton Campaign announced the launch of its Hillary for Tennessee Leadership
Council (HFTN LC) a group of nearly 50 elected officials, community, coalition and
grassroots leaders who will help build a grassroots-driven volunteer team that will help
Hillary to win the Tennessee Primary on March 1.
These Leadership Councils will serve as the in-state leadership for the campaign,
amplifying the campaigns national voice to Tennessee families aiding the campaign
with rapid response, organization building, grassroots organizing events, recruiting
volunteer leaders, and identifying leaders for Get Out The Vote activities.
Many of the Leadership Council members share Clintons commitment to raising wages
for the middle class, her plan to reform health care to reduce prescription drug costs,
her passion for reforming the criminal justice system and her belief that debt should
never be a barrier for students going to college and much more.
In our next President, we need a leader who is willing to continue tackling the issues of
our generation and beyond head on: college affordability, access to quality and
affordable health care, and reforming our criminal justice system and I believe
wholeheartedly that leader is Hillary Clinton, said London Lamar, President of
Tennessee Young Democrats. Im excited to join the Hillary for Tennessee
Leadership Council, and work to share Hillary Clintons vision to help Tennesseans get
ahead, and stay ahead.
Hillary Clinton may be the best prepared candidate for President we've ever had, said
Congressmen Cooper and Cohen. From her commitment to the middle class, to
her vast experience with domestic issues and foreign policy, she has the vision for a
stronger, more prosperous, and more inclusive America. Were ready to help lead her
team in Tennessee."
Over the course of the campaign, the HFTN LC will continue to expand.
