Three major donors are helping Clinton efforts for 2016

THE HEAT IS ON!

Hillary Clinton
Susie Tompkins Buell, a San Francisco philanthropist and co-founder of the Esprit clothing line, and Steve and Amber Mostyn, Houston trial lawyers who helped bankroll a pro-Obama super PAC last year, are leading the fundraising efforts Ready for Hillary.

Even though Hillary Clinton has not officially announced her decision to run in 2016, it is not stopping big time donors for coming aboard early to offer their assistance if she decides to run. It is expected to be a crowded field of candidates in all party primaries in 2016 and Hillary Clinton seems to be the one to win the Democratic primary among democrats for now.

The pro-Clinton super PAC launched its National Finance Council on Tuesday and named Buell and the Mostyns founding members. Ready for Hillary, begun earlier this year by Clinton supporters, is urging the former secretary of state and first lady to run for president in 2016, and is trying to assemble a grassroots coalition on her behalf.

Possible candidates for 2016 may include for Sen. Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, Sec. of State John Kerry and God knows who else.
