At a time when Americans are looking for a president who can bring people together, Trump has done nothing but tear people down with hateful rhetoric, bigoted policy proposals and by bullying and demeaning anyone who disagrees with him. Vice Mayor Anita Price, Chairwoman of the Roanoke County Democratic Committee Susan Cloeter, and Professor Carter Turner, will be among the Roanoke leaders participating in a press conference ahead of Trump and Mike Pence's Roanoke town hall .

Hillary Clinton will be a president committed to building an America that is stronger together. She will build bridges not walls and fight for a better future for all Americans.
