"Almost one in five jobs in Indiana are in manufacturing, the highest share in any state, which is why manufacturing is front and center of Hillary's jobs and economic plan," said former Indiana Senator Evan Bayh.

Reuters: Clinton courts Appalachian voters to counter Trump on trade (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-idUSKCN0XT1F7?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=Social)

"U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton met with coal and steel workers in the Appalachian region on Monday in an effort to win over blue-collar voters in a part of the country with strong support for Republican Donald Trump."
The Daily Independent: CLINTON LISTENS, LEARNS FROM STEELWORKERS, Presidential hopeful sits down with AK Steelworkers (http://www.dailyindependent.com/news/presidential-hopeful-sits-down-with-ak-steel-workers/article_f6df7706-10a4-11e6-9c00-b78651dd9257.html)

"Since local CSX layoffs were blamed on the decline of the coal industry, and the trickle-down effect of less coal to transport to northeast Kentucky, Clinton also discussed her plan to give relief to laid-off miners.

"She said the most important aspect of her plan is to ensure pensions and benefits of workers are secure for them and their families. Clinton's $30-billion plan also called for an investment in economic diversification."

Wall Street Journal: Hillary Clinton Raised $26.4 Million in April, Surpassing Sanders (http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/05/02/hillary-clinton-raised-26-4-million-in-april-surpassing-sanders/)

"Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton raised $26.4 million in April, her campaign said Monday, nearly matching her fundraising from the previous month and outpacing rival Bernie Sanders for the first time this year.

"In previous months, Mr. Sanders far surpassed the former secretary of state's fundraising. In March, he raised $44 million to her $29 million; the month before, he raised $43 million to her $30 million. But Mr. Sanders's fundraising dropped sharply last month, when he brought in nearly $26 million, a sign that supporters may be discouraged by the Vermont senator's narrowing path to victory."

Salon: The Benghazi slow-walk: How to drag out an investigation for maximum political impact (http://www.salon.com/2016/05/02/the_benghazi_slow_walk_how_to_drag_out_an_investigation_for_maximum_political_impact/)

"Aside from the fact that these requests seem duplicative and frivolous, they also indicate that Gowdy's committee is busily chasing down long-since disproven conspiracy theories - namely that forces were available to reach Benghazi in time but were, for political reasons, held back. That false allegation was at the center of a discredited Fox News report from late last year that, it must be noted, had the Benghazi Republicans' fingerprints all over it. 'DoD interviewees have been asked repeatedly to speculate or engage in discussing on the record hypotheticals posed by Committee Members and staff,' Hedger's letter notes, 'regardless of the interviewee's actual knowledge or expertise.' This all points to a committee that has, in many distinct ways, deliberately wasted a lot of time and resources."
