Senator Clinton has been an advocate for children and families for more than thirty years. She brings to the Senate the same commitment and energy that took her to each of New York State's 62 counties during her 16-month campaign.

To build a better future for working families, Hillary Rodham Clinton supported policies to expand the economy, raise the minimum wage and the earned income tax credit, increase tax deductions for children, and make credit more available, including microcredit loans for women entrepreneurs.

Senator Clinton is dedicated to bringing jobs to Upstate New York. Through tax credits for small businesses, investments in telecommunications infrastructure, creating technology extension programs, skills training, restructuring utilities and lowering airfares to increase regional accessibility, she proposes to make it possible for the economy in upstate and all regions of New York to flourish and to stem the outmigration of young New Yorkers and their families.

I learned about government right here in this Legislature. I studied the same issues and had the same experiences, hopes, and frustrations as so many other New Yorkers. I am chagrined at the high cost of education for my family. And the prohibitive price of health care. I have talked to New Yorkers for decades about the crumbling upstate economy, the crush of property taxes and the lack of affordable housing. These are issues that we will continue to focus and address, but we can do more. I have a vision for New York. It’s a New York where achievement is developed only from hard work, where doors are always open and where anyone can achieve no matter where they live.

They call what we do public service for a reason: because it’s not politics. It’s not parties. It’s not power that counts at the end of the day. Those interests can vanish in a moment. It is the service that endures. It is service that is important. It is the service that is our mark. It is our measure. It is our record of performance.

My colleagues, all of you in the Legislature, those who serve in the judiciary, State employees who work in our great agencies, isn’t that what called us to work in government in the first place? Then let us seize that poignant moment. Let us right here and now, let us grab the unusual opportunities that circumstance has handed us today, and put personal politics, party advantage and power struggles aside in favor of service, in the interests of the people….

…And so what we are going to do from now on is what we always should have done. We’re going to work together. With conviction in our brains and compassion in our hearts and love for New York on our sleeves, we will dedicate ourselves to principle but always maintain the ability to listen. And now, we look forward in this great State, we look forward with our eyes very much on the greatness of New York and we move forward, ever forward, together.

To many of you, I am an unknown quantity. But that doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is what we are able to accomplish today, tomorrow and all the days ahead. It’s Monday and there’s work to be done.There’s a budget that needs to be passed, and we will pass it. We need a plan to put New Yorkers back to work and we will provide it. We have to battle the obstacle of doubt and uncertainty and we shall overcome it…”
