I believe that, like New Hampshire voters, voters across this country are hungry for accountability, honesty and responsibility to return to Washington again. As President, Hillary Clinton will turn our government around and restore Americans' confidence in the White House again- replacing the culture of cronyism and secrecy with openness and honest dealings."
