Clinton focuses on early years in rollout

Hillary Clinton’s much-anticipated presidential launch on Sunday carried undertones of focusing on the former secretary of State’s early years as a wife, mother and first lady before assuming public office.

{mosads}While Clinton sought the Democratic nomination for president in 2008 primarily on her record as a lawmaker, early moves indicate her campaign will work this time to reintroduce her by embracing her earlier history.

Clinton’s biography posted to her campaign website is written in an unusually personal tone, describing her father, Hugh, as a “rock-ribbed Republican” and highlighting her own position on a girls softball team.

Amid Clinton’s video announcement, which focuses primarily on middle-class people in America, her campaign has published candid photos of a young Hillary Rodham going back to her childhood in the 1950s.

There are several photos of her mother, Dorothy, whose difficult childhood is described in Clinton’s biography as an inspiration for the former Cabinet official’s own desire to look out for children.

A Facebook timeline chronicles her law school years, introduction to Bill Clinton at Yale in the 1970s and highlights of becoming first lady of Arkansas, a mother and first lady of the United States.

Her biography also highlights her time as a senator from New York, acknowledges her failed 2008 White House bid, time as secretary of State and more recent title of grandmother.

And speaking of titles, Clinton added another — 2016 presidential candidate — to her Twitter profile.
