Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a group of 1,100 Long Island business and political leaders Friday that she would begin seriously considering a White House run sometime next year.

In a speech to the Long Island Association at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, Clinton said a decision about a second presidential campaign would depend primarily on whether she feels intractable political issues including education, housing and health care can be solved.

“I am not going to begin to think seriously about it until sometime next year,” Clinton said of a presidential run. “I will think about it because it’s something on a lot of people’s minds. And it’s on my mind as well.”
