The campaign is spending about $1 million in each state over the next five weeks to air two 60-second biographical spots aimed at telling voters why Clinton is running for president. One features Clinton speaking directly to camera about her late mother, Dorothy Rodham, and the other focuses on how Rodham’s rough childhood inspired Clinton's work over the last four decades.
