Description:
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton filed papers to create an exploratory committee to consider running for Senator from New York state on July 6, 1999. The possibility that she would be a candidate arose after the Monica Lewinsky scandal had tarnished Bill Clinton's reputation. Hillary Clinton was elected to the Senate in 2000.
