“I admire Hillary Clinton’s lifetime of work on behalf of children and families, and I trust that she will deliver results when she is President,” Molina said.

“Her experience in helping to create economic opportunities for working people, ensure access to affordable healthcare, and provide universal pre-kindergarten make her the best Presidential candidate for the unbelievably challenging times that we are living. ”

Molina long has been in the forefront of Democratic politics. She was the first Latina elected to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the Los Angeles City Council, and the California State Assembly.
