The 4-year-old dressed up as Hillary Clinton and went with her family to Clinton’s rally in Charleston. When campaign aides saw Wood’s outfit, she was brought backstage for an introduction to none other than the former Secretary of State herself, according to [Buzzfeed News](http://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/hilloween#.tuA4bkW1a). “Sullivan thinks she’ll be the next female President after Hillary Clinton,” mom Jennifer Jones-Wood told Buzzfeed News. “She loves her. We campaign together for Hillary and she even has a poster of her above her bed.” Jones-Wood posted a video of the adorable encounter to her Facebook page. “Hillary was tickled pink and Sullivan was just so excited. I don’t think she understands the magnitude of this because she’s 4.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4095904/hillary-clinton-halloween-costume/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4095904/hillary-clinton-halloween-costume/"},"headline":"This Little Girl Dressed as Hillary Clinton, Then Got to Meet Her","datePublished":"2015-11-01T22:05:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:31.152Z","description":"Work that Senator's briefcase","url":"https://time.com/4095904/hillary-clinton-halloween-costume/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Hillary Clinton","politics","Politicians","costumes","Election 2016","halloween","Halloween costumes","2016 presidential campaign","presidential candidates"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4095904/hillary-clinton-halloween-costume/","name":"This Little Girl Dressed as Hillary Clinton, Then Got to Meet Her"}}]}] ```
