watch her announcement video to kick off the campaign .
as first lady under president bill clinton , hillary tenaciously led the fight to reform our health care system so that all hillary clinton is expected to announce her presidential bid on sunday , but odds are the event wo n’t be remotely as entertaining as snl ’s latest cold open , in which kate mckinnon gave her own take on how clinton should declare her candidacy .
mrs. clinton was the co - star of the clinton administration , the only first lady ever elected to the united states senate and a globe - trotting diplomat who surprised her party by serving dutifully under the president who defeated her .
but in a campaign that will inevitably be about the future , mrs. clinton , 67 ,
she co - founded arkansas advocates for children and families , one of the state ’s first things her friends and family will tell you is that she ’s never forgotten where she came from or who she ’s been fighting for throughout her life .
after serving as a lawyer for the congressional committee investigating president nixon , she moved to arkansas where she taught law and ran legal clinics representing poor people .
regardless of the outcome , mrs. clinton ’s 2016 campaign will open a new chapter in the extraordinary life of a public figure who has captivated and polarized the country since her husband , former president bill clinton , declared his intention to run for president in 1991 .
hillary was raised in a suburb of illinois where she attended public school and was raised a methodist by her parents .
the announcement effectively began what could be one of the least contested races , without an incumbent , for the democratic presidential nomination in recent history — a stark contrast to the 2008 primaries , when mrs. clinton would meet soon with voters in iowa and host a formal kickoff event some time next month .
