Chelsea Clinton Greeted By Supporters
By Tammy Mori
As for the Clinton campaign, Chelsea Clinton made her way around Oahu today.

She made five appearances on behalf of her mother and was greeted by hundreds of supporters.
………….
But she did make an effort to meet hundreds of people face to face in hopes to encourage more voters to do their part.
……

Taking many by surprise...

"I was excited. Especially when she started moving over towards my table and said coffee was one of my favorite food groups," said Isaac Gillette, of Keopu Coffee.

……

Chelsea visited a Health care summit...one of the issues at the forefront of Hilary Clinton's campaign.

A reason why some local lawmakers are endorsing her.

"Universal health care, saving our health care system, somebody who understands we got to take care of the rural areas ," states Colleen Hanabusa, Senate President.

And finally chelsea took a break for lunch--- she came to the same place she and her dad ate in 1993.

…..
And it was these human touches- she made throughout the day that gave many local voters the sense that they really mattered.

"I just love the whole idea that there is actually a race. In my whole life this is probably the first real election i've been able to participate in," says Linda Marsh, Hawaii Kai Resident.

Tomorrow Chelsea Clinton will make her final campaign stop on the islands.

She is scheduled to speak at a Clinton rally tomorrow afternoon in Maui.
