Hillary Clinton announces endorsements from Maryland women
Hillary will be in Baltimore tomorrow.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. But my excuse is a good one - I'm spending the weekend with my youngest grandsons (7 & 5) who are a hoot and very precious to me. They are among the many reasons why I so want this highly qualified women to be the next President of the United States!

The extensive list includes Bel Leong-Hong, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense who is one of Maryland's super delegates, state Sen. Joanne C. Benson of Prince George's County and former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, who is running this year to reclaim City Hall.
Clinton, who is scheduled to visit Port Covington on Sunday, has captured support from more women voters than Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in most of the states that have conducted exit polling, and the announcement Saturday is intended to send a message of solidarity with the critical constituency.
The former secretary of state led Maryland women 60 percent to 35 percent in a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll released on Thursday.
"Hillary Clinton has been breaking down barriers and seeking to empower women both nationally and internationally for her entire career," Leong-Hong said in a statement. "Hillary knows that when women succeed, families succeed, and communities succeed."
