Clinton made her remarks at the Harkin Steak Fry, an annual fundraising event organized by Democratic Iowa Senator Tom Harkin.
In her speech, Clinton also gestured towards a populist campaign...
Hillary gets populist: "maintaining a middle-class life feels like pushing a boulder up a hill every single day" #harkinsteakfry
...and celebrated the success of progressive causes.
"We are less sexist, racist and homophobic than we've ever been," Bill Clinton says #HarkinSteakFry
Sunday marks the first time the former secretary of state has visited Iowa since coming in third place in her party's 2008 primary.
The #HarkinSteakFry is under way.
The Midwestern state is a crucial first stop in the long process by which the Democratic Party chooses its presidential candidates.

Clinton's campaign faltered in Iowa in 2008, when she spent far less time there than her rival Barack Obama. She suggested Sunday she wouldn't make the same mistake again:
"It's really great to be back. Let's not let another 7 years go by," Hillary Clinton closes.
