Chicago, IL -
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday announced that she would seek the presidency for a second time.
"I'm running for president," she tweeted to her more than 3.3 million followers. "Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion."
According to The New York Times, Clinton is headed to Iowa and New Hampshire, where she will meet with voters in a series of intimate campaign events.
Clinton is seen near the end of a two-minute video released just after 3 PM: "So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote, because it's your time. And I hope you'll join me on this journey."
The video features everyday people "getting ready to do something," include a couple expecting a child, a woman returning to work, a man starting a new career and a gay couple who are planning to wed.
"I'm getting married this summer to someone I really care about," a man is heard saying over images of two men holding hands.
Clinton is the first announced 2016 presidential candidate to support marriage equality.
