Hillary Rodham Clinton was elected to the United States Senate by the people of New York on November 7, 2000, after years of public service on behalf of children and families. A strong advocate for New York, Senator Clinton works with communities throughout the state to strengthen the economy and expand opportunity. She serves on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee; the Environment and Public Works Committee; the Special Committee on Aging; and she is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Senator Clinton chairs the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee, responsible for communicating with the public about key issues before Congress.
We Cannot Afford Breast Cancer
The recent declines in death rates from breast cancer show that with research, early detection, prevention, and quality care, we can make progress, and the sobering statistics show why we must. Nearly 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and over 40,000 women will die this year from breast cancer alone. We cannot afford to continue losing our mothers, sisters, and loved ones to this disease. I support breast cancer research to help us find the causes and find the cure for breast cancer, because as Mary Lasker, one of the strongest research champions once said, "if you think research is expensive -- try disease."
