Hillary Clinton Opens Campaign Office In Bristol

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president, now has a presence in Lower Bucks County.

The campaign opened an office this week in Bristol. The Lower Bucks campaign office is located on 245 Mill Street. It opened Monday, during a ceremony with Bucks County Commissioner Diane Marseglia and State Rep. Steve Santarsiero.

It's the campaign's second office in Bucks County. There's also one in Doylestown.

The offices will serve as hubs for organizing activities in the area ahead of Election Day, according to the campaign. Organizers and volunteers will host phone banks, organizing meetings, and canvasses from the office as well as from supporters' homes across the region.

Pennsylvania is a critical swing state in this year's presidential election. The Keystone State has sided with the Democrats in every presidential election since 1988, and recent polling is on Clinton's side.

But that hasn't stopped Donald Trump from campaigning here. He has said he believes his message of bringing jobs back for the state's blue-collar workers could turn Pennsylvania red this time around.

While Trump might be pushing for a win in Pennsylvania, Clinton's campaign remains confident about its prospects of carrying the state and gaining its 20 electoral votes. A pro-Clinton super PAC recently announced plans to drop advertising in the state, Bloomberg reports.

Meanwhile, all eyes are on Pennsylvania as Nov. 8 nears.CNN recently visited several spots in Bucks County to talk with voters. The Philadelphia suburbs have also been the focus of recent New York Times reports.
An NBC/WSJ/Marist poll released this week gives Clinton an 11-point edge in Pennsylvania. Polls released this week by Susquehanna and Quinnipiac universities both have the former secretary of state up by 10 points. Overall, she leads by 9.2 percent in Real Clear Politics' average of Pennsylvania polls.
