Hillary Clinton asks supporters to help settle debt

Clinton, who forgave $13.2 million in personal loans to her presidential campaign, has said she wants to repay her campaign debts.

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign committee sent an e-mail to supporters Tuesday inviting them to congratulate the New York senator on her nomination as secretary of State — and make a campaign contribution.

Clinton's campaign had nearly $7.5 million in debts to consultants and vendors at the end of October, according to its latest Federal Election Commission report. Election laws require campaign committees to exist until their debts are settled, which can take years, FEC spokesman Bob Biersack said.
