Why I support Hillary

Representative Brad Sherman (D - Calif.) explains his preference for Hillary Clinton.

February 1, 2008

Last year, Senator Clinton voted to label the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.

Barack Obama attacked her vote ferociously.

Hillary stood her ground.

As a strong Democrat, I was drawn to Senator Clinton’s unparalleled and tenacious stands on domestic issues:

  • Separation of church and state (a 100% rating from Americans United for Separation of Church and State)
  • A woman’s right to choose
  • Universal health care
  • Co-sponsor of the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act
  • Courageous support for the LGBT community
  • A detailed and ambitious plan to end our dependence on imported oil and combat global climate change.

The security of the U.S. and Israel are critical to me. Before endorsing, I discussed foreign policy with both Senators Clinton and Obama, and then conducted multiple hours-long discussions with each of their top foreign policy advisors. I endorsed Hillary Clinton after proving to myself that she is the strongest friend of Israel running, and has the clearest view of the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program.

The following sentences are taken word for word from Senator Clinton’s official position paper:
