Hillary Clinton to Hold Campaign Rally Friday in Alexandria with Gov. McAuliffe

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, fresh off the first Democratic candidates’ debate on CNN this week, will hold a campaign rally Friday in Market Square in Alexandria, her campaign announced Friday.

Market Square is located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, at 301 King St.

Clinton will travel to Alexandria Friday, Oct. 23 to rally grassroots supporters with Gov. Terry McAuliffe, to continue building her organization outside of the four early states, and work for votes ahead of the March 1 Virginia primary. McAuliffe is a family friend and longtime supporter who was co-chairman of Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Members of the public can enter the rally space beginning at 11 a.m., according to organizers, with Clinton speaking at about 12:30 p.m. Members of the public interested in attending can RSVP HERE.

Clinton received high marks from pundits for her performance Tuesday night in the first Democratic presidential candidate debate on CNN. Moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, it also featured fellow candidates Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, who lives in nearby Falls Church, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee.

Democrats named Clinton the winner in the debate in a HuffPost/YouGov poll.

People magazine said Thursday that a birthday bash fundraiser for Clinton is set for Sunday, Oct. 25 in New York City, with a performance by singer John Legend. “Some women don’t like to discuss their ages, but I think that on your birthday, you should live it up!” the invite for the fundraiser birthday party reads. “This year, I’m excited to celebrate the fact that I’m running to be the youngest woman ever to be President of the United States.”

Clinton, who became a grandmother last year, turns 68 on Oct. 26.
