A member of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]], she was the party's nominee in the [[2016 United States presidential election|2016 presidential election]], becoming the first woman to win a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party and the first woman to win the popular vote for U.S. president. She is to date the only first lady of the United States to have run for elected office.
 
Raised in [[Park Ridge, Illinois]], Rodham graduated from [[Wellesley College]] in 1969 and from [[Yale Law School]] in 1973. After serving as a congressional legal counsel, she moved to [[Arkansas]] and, in 1975, married Bill Clinton, whom she had met at Yale. In 1977, Clinton co-founded [[Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families]]. She was appointed the first female chair of the [[Legal Services Corporation]] in 1978 and became the first woman partner at Little Rock's [[Rose Law Firm]] the following year. ''[[The National Law Journal]]'' twice listed her as one of the hundred most influential lawyers in America. Clinton was the [[first lady of Arkansas]] from 1979 to 1981 and again from 1983 to 1992. As the first lady of the U.S., Clinton advocated for healthcare reform. In 1994, [[Clinton health care plan of 1993|her health care plan]] failed to gain approval from Congress. In 1997 and 1999, Clinton played a leading role in promoting the creation of the [[State Children's Health Insurance Program]], the [[Adoption and Safe Families Act]], and the [[Foster Care Independence Act]]. She also [[Women's Rights Are Human Rights|advocated for gender equality]] at the [[1995 World Conference on Women]]. In 1998, Clinton's marital relationship came under public scrutiny during the [[Lewinsky scandal]], which led her to issue a statement that reaffirmed her commitment to the marriage.
 
Clinton was [[2000 United States Senate election in New York|first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000]], becoming the first female senator from New York and the first First Lady to simultaneously hold elected office. As a senator, she chaired the [[United States Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee|Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee]] from 2003 to 2007. She advocated for medical benefits for [[Health effects arising from the September 11 attacks|September 11 first responders]].<ref>{{Cite web|last1=McAfee|first1=Tierney|date=September 9, 2016|title=How Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Responded to the 9/11 Attacks|url=https://people.com/celebrity/911-how-hillary-clinton-and-donald-trump-responded-to-attacks/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161105085706/https://people.com/celebrity/911-how-hillary-clinton-and-donald-trump-responded-to-attacks/|archive-date=November 5, 2016|access-date=August 21, 2019|website=[[People (magazine)|People]]}}</ref> She supported the [[Iraq War Resolution|resolution authorizing the Iraq War]] in 2002, but opposed the [[Iraq War troop surge of 2007|surge of U.S. troops]] in 2007. Clinton [[Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign|ran for president in 2008]], but lost to [[Barack Obama]] in [[2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries|the Democratic primaries]]. After resigning from the Senate to become Obama's secretary of state in 2009, she established the [[Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review]]. She responded to the [[Arab Spring]] by advocating the [[2011 military intervention in Libya]], but was harshly criticized by [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] for the failure to prevent or adequately respond to the [[2012 Benghazi attack]]. Clinton helped to organize a diplomatic isolation and a regime of international [[sanctions against Iran]] in an effort to force it to curtail its [[Nuclear program of Iran|nuclear program]], which eventually led to the multinational [[Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]] in 2015. The [[East Asian foreign policy of the Barack Obama administration|strategic pivot to Asia]] was a central aspect of her tenure, underscoring the strategic shift in U.S. foreign policy focus from the Middle East and Europe towards Asia. She had a key role in launching the [[Global Health Initiatives|United States Global Health Initiative]], which aimed to increase U.S. investment in global public health, including combating [[HIV/AIDS]], [[tuberculosis]], and [[malaria]]. [[Hillary Clinton email controversy|Her use of a private email server]] as secretary was the subject of intense scrutiny; while no charges were filed against Clinton, the email controversy was the single most covered topic during her [[Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign|second presidential run in 2016]]. She won the Democratic nomination, but losing [[2016 United States presidential election|the general election]] to Republican opponent [[Donald Trump]] in the [[United States Electoral College|Electoral College]], despite winning the popular vote.
 
Following her loss, she wrote multiple books and launched [[Onward Together]], a [[501c4|political action organization]] dedicated to fundraising for progressive political groups. In 2011, Clinton was appointed the Honorary Founding Chair of the Institute for Women, Peace and Security at [[Georgetown University]], and the awards named in her name has been awarded annually at the university. Since 2020, she has served as the [[List of chancellors of the Queen's University Belfast|chancellor of the Queen's University Belfast]]. In 2023, Clinton joined [[Columbia University]] as a Professor of Practice at the School of International and Public Affairs.▼

Rodham's early political development was shaped mostly by her high school history teacher (like her father, a fervent [[anti-communist]]), who introduced her to Goldwater's ''[[The Conscience of a Conservative]]'' and by her Methodist youth minister (like her mother, concerned with issues of [[social justice]]), with whom she saw and afterwards briefly met [[civil rights movement|civil rights]] leader [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] at a 1962 speech in Chicago's [[Orchestra Hall (Chicago)|Orchestra Hall]].<ref>Troy 2006, p.&nbsp;15; Gerth and Van Natta 2007, pp.&nbsp;18–21; Bernstein 2007, pp.&nbsp;34–36.

Some critics called it inappropriate for the first lady to play a central role in public policy matters. Supporters pointed out that Clinton's role in policy was no different from that of other White House advisors, and that voters had been well aware she would play an active role in her husband's presidency.<ref>{{Cite news |title=The First Lady: Homemaker or Policy-Maker? |url=http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/first-lady-homemaker-or-policy-maker |author=Peart, Karen N. |publisher=[[Scholastic Press]] |access-date=August 22, 2006 |archive-date=October 13, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121013130358/http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/first-lady-homemaker-or-policy-maker |url-status=live }}</ref>

When New York's long-serving U.S. senator [[Daniel Patrick Moynihan]] announced his retirement in November 1998, several prominent Democratic figures, including Representative [[Charles Rangel]] of New York, urged Clinton to run for his open seat in the [[2000 United States Senate elections|Senate election of 2000]].{{sfn|Bernstein|2007|p=530}} Once she decided to run, the Clintons purchased a home in [[Chappaqua, New York]], north of New York City, in September 1999.<ref>{{Cite news |author=Nagourney, Adam |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/03/nyregion/with-some-help-clintons-purchase-a-white-house.html |title=With Some Help, Clintons Purchase a White House |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 3, 1999 |author-link=Adam Nagourney |access-date=July 12, 2024 |archive-date=July 22, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190722193731/https://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/03/nyregion/with-some-help-clintons-purchase-a-white-house.html |url-status=live }}</ref> She became the first wife of the president of the United States to be a candidate for elected office.{{sfn|Gerth|Van Natta|2007|p=204}} Initially, Clinton expected to face [[Rudy Giuliani]]—the mayor of New York City—as her Republican opponent in the election.

Clinton then faced [[Rick Lazio]], a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives who represented [[New York's 2nd congressional district]]. Throughout the campaign, opponents accused Clinton of [[Parachute candidate|carpetbagging]], because she had never resided in New York State or participated in the state's politics before the 2000 Senate race.{{sfn|Gerth|Van Natta|2007|pp=200, 204}}
