In February of 1992, the day I decided to leave my position as a young attorney to take on the role of Deputy State Director for the Bill Clinton presidential campaign in Massachusetts, I discovered I was pregnant. As Bill secured the nomination, I transitioned into the Issues Director role in Massachusetts, all while my belly continued to grow. Our daughter, Lily, made her grand entrance into the world just two days before Bill was elected in November 1992. I managed to pump milk through 36 hours of festivities in D.C. during the inauguration a few months later.
Fast forward to today, and Lily, now nearly 24, is making her mark in Brooklyn as part of Hillary for America’s digital advertising team. During her teenage years, we spent countless autumn afternoons in New Hampshire during election seasons, holding signs and knocking on doors, engaging with voters. After her freshman year of college, Lily spent the summer working on Obama’s 2012 campaign. When she expressed a desire to lighten her course load to continue at the headquarters in Chicago during the academic year, it was an easy decision for us. As Hillary Clinton kicked off her presidential run, Lily knew she had to get involved.

I vividly remember meeting Hillary back in 1992. She addressed a group of 40 to 50 supporters from the steps of a home in Brookline, Massachusetts, and her words were truly captivating. Hillary spoke passionately about advocating for those who often don’t have a voice and emphasized the need for women to have choices regarding their healthcare. She shared her experiences working with the Children’s Defense Fund, championing the rights of children with disabilities. Hillary has dedicated her life to fighting for women and children. Nearly 24 years later, I was excited to actively support Hillary’s campaign, volunteering as an organizer to rally travelers heading to swing states.
Seeing Lily as part of Hillary’s team fills me with immense pride—she’s one of the dedicated young staffers working tirelessly to amplify Hillary’s message of empowerment for all Americans. Back in 1992, email was just beginning to gain traction, while today, Lily and her team leverage advanced analytics to gauge ad response rates. While technology has evolved dramatically over the past 24 years, Hillary Clinton’s unwavering commitment to justice and family welfare remains steadfast.
