Mayor Walsh endorses Hillary Clinton at rally

Hillary Clinton cast herself as organized labor’s presidential candidate on Sunday in Boston, standing with Marty Walsh, the city’s union-backed mayor, to roll out her plan to increase spending on infrastructure and manufacturing.

The state Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson dinner in New Hampshire is an annual fundraiser that offers an opportunity for the presidential candidates – former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley among them – to woo influential activists in the early voting state.

Hillary Clinton announced she intends to spend $275 billion dollars updating the U.S.’s lagging infrastructure.

Infrastructure spending has been a top priority of President Obama’s as well, but his plans have so far failed to go anywhere in the Republican-controlled Congress. Clinton’s proposal would face the same opposition in Congress, which is likely to have at least one chamber under GOP control if she wins the presidency.

Porter has written sensationalist biographies of many Hollywood figures, but he has received criticism for his use of predominantly second-hand information.

“To build a strong economy for our future, we must start by building strong infrastructure today”, Clinton said flanked by paintings of Daniel Webster, Samuel Adams and George Washington.

“Investing in infrastructure makes our economy more productive and competitive across the board”. “I think that she is the most likely person to be president of the United States, elected in 2016, and I’m going to vote for her”, the Hill reported he said recently.

Infrastructure has always been a focus on Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Clinton also proposed creating a national infrastructure bank to fund public-private partnerships in big projects. “I am a lifelong Democrat”, O’Malley said, taking subtle jabs at Sanders who identifies as a Democratic socialist, and Clinton, who was a Young Republican in high school. “What we need to do is get off our a- after this rally”, he added.

Mrs. Clinton had previously said Mr. Blumenthal’s messages to her were unsolicited. Instead, campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said “Secretary Clinton turned over all of her work emails, 55,000 pages of them, and asked that they be released to the public”. “Not only understands, she supports unions”. Walsh said he waited for the field of Democratic candidates to take shape before deciding to endorse Clinton.

Clinton ended her speech by talking about her parents’ humble beginnings, and how hard work allowed them to have a comfortable, middle-class life.

Clinton is also looking to raise money for the plan by targeting so-called “inversions”, a corporate tax loophole that allows large companies to avoid taxes by moving their headquarters overseas.
