HILLARY ON STEPHENIE TUBBS JONES SHE WAS MY SISTER AND MY FRIEND

Senator Hillary Clinton talked about her friend Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She called the Representative her sister and her friend. She talked about how they met in the 90s and how they went through the very rough Primary where several of Senator Clinton's African American supporters were threatened with Primaries or they were threatened with other problems. Senator Clinton told her to leave her then but Stephanie refused saying "When I am in it I am in it." She was very loyal to Senator Clinton.
Representative Tubbs- Jones will be missed by everyone who supported Senator Clinton and everyone who she represented. I, as an African American woman, am very proud of Representative Tubbs-Jones who was the first African American woman to represent the state of Ohio.
