Clinton in Long Beach

LONG BEACH — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Long Beach, March 4, to speak at a $1,500-per-plate luncheon at the downtown offices of law firm Keesal, Young & Logan.

The event was a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach. The politically powerful law firm has the fundraising luncheon every year, bringing notable speakers, including Hillary Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, in 2007.

On March 5, Clinton delivered the third annual Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership at UCLA’s Royce Hall and accepted the UCLA Medal, the university’s highest honor.

Following the lecture, Clinton participated in a question-and-answer session with UCLA political science professor Lynn Vavreck.
