Hillary represented New York in the Senate for almost 8 years.
What did she accomplish while there?

(68,868 posts)In fact it was a huge part of what she did as Senator.

(38,437 posts)Jesus effin' Cristo. Read you own posts.

(1,168 posts)So I guess you're saying that if Hillary had done nothing else, working to pass Zadroga was enough for her to have served satisfactorily in the Senate for almost 8 years.

(38,437 posts)And, no, I will not puke up a list of accomplishments if you ask. Save the effort.

(68,868 posts)That occupied a lot of her bandwidth in her first term.
Enough to win New Yorkers' votes.

(1,603 posts)The way she tells it now, she makes it sound like she was the lead on it. Realistically, anyone could have done the same thing.
Other than that, I don't know.

(1,603 posts)The games being played since then with the money is a separate issue.

(10,336 posts)She was their Senator for 8 years. She has not been so for almost 4 years now. That's quite a stretch to give her any credit. This is a whole new congress. 2 or 3 congresses now from when she was even there. To my knowledge the Secretary of State wouldn't have been involved with getting the 9/11 money. ?
Lone_Wolf
(1,603 posts)I'm only referring to that time period.
But to your overall question, no, she did very little for us.

(1,168 posts)I asked him this question and he couldn't answer.
