Former HHS Secretary Sebelius endorses Clinton
Source: Politico
Hillary Clinton picked up the support of former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Monday.
"I just feel that she's the only person, frankly, in the field of candidates who has the experience and background that prepares her nationally and internationally to be the leader of the country," the former governor of Kansas told the Topeka Capital-Journal. "As a mother, a grandmother and a former public servant, who had the privilege of serving with Hillary in the president's Cabinet, I can think of nothing more important than ensuring our next president is someone who will protect and build upon the progress made by President Obama over the past eight years."
In particular, Sebelius pointed to how she felt Clinton would treat issues important to women, children and families.
The endorsement from her fellow Cabinet member comes a week and a half before the Kansas Democratic primary. In 2008, Sebelius opted to endorse then-Sen. Barack Obama, a fellow Midwesterner, rather than the New York senator.
