Hillary Clinton Writes Condolence Letter to Third-Grade Girl Who Lost Class President Election to Boy

By The Blaze. Hillary Clinton wrote a letter to an 8-year-old Maryland girl to console her for losing a class president election to a boy by just one vote, the Washington Post reported.

“As I know too well, it’s not easy when you stand up and put yourself in contention for a role that’s only been sought by boys,” Clinton wrote.

Clinton became the first woman to be nominated as a presidential candidate but lost to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential race.

The girl who received Clinton’s letter is Martha Kennedy Morales, a third-grader at a private Quaker school in College Park, Maryland, according to the news outlet. The third-grader campaigned to become class president during a unit on the U.S. government for a combined third- and fourth-grade class. . .

Six ballots in the classroom election were declared invalid because they were not correctly filled out. In the end, Martha lost by a single vote. She was named vice president instead.

Hillary Clinton Writes to an 8-Year-Old Who Ran for Class President and Lost to a Boy: ‘As I Know Too Well, It’s Not Easy.’

By The Washington Post. . .

Dear Martha:

I learned from your father, Albert’s post on Facebook about your election experience running for Class President at . . . . Congratulations on being elected Vice President!

While I know you may have been disappointed that you did not win President, I am so proud of you for deciding to run in the first place. As I know too well, it’s not easy when you stand up and put yourself in contention for a role that’s only been sought by boys. The most important thing is that you fought for what you believed in, and that is always worth it. As you continue to learn and grow in the years ahead, never stop standing up for what is right and seeking opportunities to be a leader, and know that I am cheering you on for a future of great success.
