13. Clinton Was The Only First Lady Ever To Run For Public Office When She Was Elected As The First Female Senator Of New York In 2000
Hillary Clinton moved to New York in 2000 and then stood for the Senate there - winning election and taking office on January 3, 2001, serving until January 21, 2009, when she was appointed as President Barack Obamas Secretary of State. Bill Clinton was still in office for a little while after Hillary was elected, and the latters victory made her the first-ever First Lady to run - and win a seat - for public office, as well as the first-ever female senator for New York.
