Hillary Clinton Makes First Visit to Brooklyn Since Announcing Campaign

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/05/14/hillary-clinton-makes-first-visit-to-brooklyn-since-announcing-campaign/?_r=0

Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday made her first trip to Brooklyn since she joined the presidential race a month ago, visiting her headquarters and taking an unannounced stroll in Brooklyn Heights.

Then she headed to a meeting for donors who have secured at least 10 checks totaling $2,700.

Mrs. Clinton spent about an hour in her headquarters at 1 Pierrepont Plaza, shaking hands and meeting people, aides said. She told them it was important to win, but also to “have fun,” said her spokesman, Nick Merrill.



She then took a walk through the neighborhood as an aide from the campaign’s digital team used a video camera to record people approaching Mrs. Clinton on the street. The candidate was accompanied by Mr. Merrill, Huma Abedin, a longtime aide, and a few Secret Service agents.

Good for her, yes there is still fund raising occurring. It takes lots of funds to run a campaign, here she is taking funds from small donors, there are complaints she is only taking money, here is a case she isn't taking from Wall Street.
