NEW YORK SENATE RACE SPEECH By HILARY CLINTON You know, you know, we started this great effort on a sunny July morning in Pinders Corner on Pat and Liz Moynihan\'s beautiful farm and 62 counties, 16 months, 3 debates, 2 opponents, and 6 black pantsuits later, because of you, here we are。
You came out and said that iues and ideals matter, jobs matter, downstate and upstate, health care matters, education matters, the environment matters, social security matters, a woman\'s right to choose matters.It all matters and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you, New York! Thank you for opening up your minds and your hearts, for seeing the poibility of what we could do together for our children and for our future here in this state and in our nation.I am profoundly grateful to all of you for giving me the chance to serve you.
I willabout overcrowded or crumbling schools, about the struggle to care for growing children and aging parents, about the continuing challenge of providing equal opportunity for all and about children moving away from their home towns because good jobs are so hard to find in upstate New York.Now I\'ve worked on iues like these for a long time, some of them for 30 years, and I am determined to make a difference for all of you.You see, I believe our nation owes every responsible citizen and every responsible family the tools that they need to make the most of their own lives.That\'s the basic bargain.I\'ll do my best to honor in the United States Senate.And to those of you who did not support me, I want you to know that I will work in the Senate for you and for all New Yorkers.And to those of you who worked so hard and never lost faith even in the toughest times, I offer you my undying gratitude.
