In the swing state of Pennsylvania, we asked families of women Clinton supporters all to talk about why they support her candidacy and how they identify with her experiences as a woman in the workforce and as a mother and grandmother at home.
Polly Frey, a 67-year-old former stay-at-home mother and current furniture saleswoman in between jobs, lives with her daughter in the Philadelphia exurbs, and said she certainly sees herself in Clinton. Being a new grandmother, definitely, it makes her more human and more attractive to me, how she would handle things, she explained. I worry about so much more now than I did with my kids, because you know whats going on and you want to prepare them for whats ahead and hope that they turn out to be even-tempered, moral, generous all the things you would want in a human, which sometimes we dont see in some of the candidates.
Her daughter, Raina Murdock, is an IT professional who just turned 43 and has two children: Dexter, age four, and Meadow, one.
Murdock said, tearing up: The one thing that I think is kind of cool, Meadow being the age she is, shes not going to know any different than that a woman can be president.
