"As Democrats, as women and as South Carolinians, it's easy to see who is the best choice for the White House. It's the one candidate in the race with a 35-year record of making positive changes. It's Hillary Clinton," said Charleston County Democratic Women President Jacquetta Jones. "She's been fighting for our families, fighting for women and fighting for us for all these years."

South Carolina Women for Hillary's efforts today were in conjunction with a national effort by the Women for Hillary organization across the country dubbed "We Found Our Voice."

Ever since Hillary's historic victory in the New Hampshire Democratic primary, the Women for Hillary organization nationally has been hearing from women across the country who were energized by her win, and moved by her statement that she "found her voice."

Many voters wrote the campaign that these words resonated with them, that they were energized and that they felt that they too have found their voice.

This week, the Women for Hillary organizational nationally launched a new feature online for the words and stories of those who've found their voices and are putting them to use. People can post messages at www.wefoundourvoice.com -- from how and when they found their voices to how they are using their voices in this election.
