Headed by Loida Nicolas Lewis, the Hillary Victory Fund was able to raise over $100,000 and was attended by about 50 guests.
Chelsea acknowledged Nicolas Lewis’ support of her mother and highlighted the theme of Hillary Clinton’s platform that “stronger together,” the US can build a stronger economy, protect the nation and the world, and celebrate American values.
“Chelsea was wonderfully eloquent. Feet on the ground, charming, personable and utterly convincing about her faith in her Mom’s being president of the USA,” Lewis said.
Chelsea also reiterated the support of the Fil-Am community and highlighted Clinton’s involvement with the Filipino community, citing her attendance at a major National Federation of Filipino American Associations (NaFFAA) event as first lady many years ago.
“For Filipino-Americans, this election offers a historic opportunity to make a difference. Hillary Clinton brings a consistent track record of public service, fighting for issues that touch our lives; healthcare, children, families, women, and immigration policy,” Clinton supporter Angelie Berrie said.
Members of the Sponsor Committee include Loida Nicolas Lewis, Angelica Berrie, Geraldine Acuna Sunshine, Gail Alvarez and Carla Villacorta, as well as Christina Lewis Halpern, Leslie Malaika Lewis, Dr. Angie Cruz, Edwin Josue, Susan Grant, Matthew Tollin and Bruce Reed.
