Philadelphia, PA –(ENEWSPF)–July 28, 2016. On December 14, 2012, Erica Smegielski’s world was turned upside down when her mother and best friend, Dawn, was killed in the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Since then, she has turned her tears into anger—and her anger into action—to help spare other families the pain that changed her life forever.
In the new video “My Mother”, Erica describes the devastating moment she found out about her mother’s murder. She recalls receiving the phone call, rushing to the elementary school, and waiting for answers—experiences common to far too many American families.
Erica knows that Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who can break the political stalemate and address our country’s gun violence epidemic. Erica knows how high the stakes are in this election; and that Hillary has the experience and steadiness to bring people together to tackle big challenges—and get real results. Hillary understands that we must work together to find solutions because we are stronger together.
