Key Chappaqua supporters explain why they’re working hard to help elect hometown candidate Hillary Clinton as first woman POTUS.
By Stacey Pfeffer
It’s
been a momentous few weeks here in the hamlet of New Castle. At the
annual Chappaqua Memorial Day Parade, Hillary Rodham Clinton marched and
waved to residents–many of whom were hoping to see her become the
official Democratic presidential nominee in early June. Then just over a
week later, a bus full of residents were thrilled to travel to the
Booklyn Navy Yard to lend their support and bask in the history of her
officially clinching the Democratic nomination; a group of New Castle
supporters celebrated at Mario’s Restaurant on lower King Street.
Now
that Clinton is the official Democratic candidate, the Inside Press had
the opportunity to interview key supporters who have been staying near
and dear to her campaign and/or working constructively on “Get Out the
Vote,” referred to commonly as GOTV. We heard firsthand their
reflections on what it means to have one of our most famous neighbors as
the potential next President.

Hillary Clinton stepped off the parade route this year to take a few
moments to say hello and express her appreciation to the Chappaqua
Friends of Hill grassroots group. |
Not
everyone in town loves Hillary, though. There's
this guy. When your teenage son refuses to drive the family car, you know you have a problem.
