A letter from the former presidential candidate urged the 8-year-old girl to “never stop standing up for what is right.”

An 8-year-old Maryland girl reportedly received some high-powered encouragement after she lost a school election for class president by one vote.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent a letter to Martha Kennedy Morales, a third-grader at Friends Community School in College Park, after hearing about the election results, The Washington Post reported.

“As I know too well, it’s not easy when you stand up and put yourself in contention for a role that’s only been sought by boys,” wrote Clinton, who lost the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump.

“It was really touching to know that Hillary Clinton herself sent me a letter,” Martha told CNN. “That doesn’t happen every day.”
