Dubbed the "Get Out the Vote" rally, the event took place at the University of Bridgeport's Harvey Hubbell Gymnasium. The rally was the candidate's first large-scale, public appearance in the state.
The former Secretary of State spoke for just a half hour, but covered numerous hot button issues, including education, healthcare, and criminal justice reform.
One of the larger portions of her speech focused on issues surrounding jobs and the economy, such as raising the minimum wage and creating green jobs.
"Let`s imagine that we have an economy that works for everybody, not just those at the top with enough good jobs and rising incomes," said Clinton, during her speech.
Clinton lowered her voice and slowed down when discussing gun violence.
She said, "I'm going to make this a centerpiece of what I do as president and together we're going to save lives."
The candidate did not mention her Democratic opponent Bernie Sanders at all, but did make sure to point how different her views are on these issues compared to the Republicans in the race.
"When you hear what Trump and Cruz say, it's not only offensive. It's dangerous," said Clinton.
Clinton spent the past week in Connecticut hosting a handful smaller events, including a round table meeting with victims of gun violence in Hartford - a city with increased numbers of shootings in recent years. She also spent Saturday afternoon speaking with select working families at a New Haven coffee shop forum with U.S. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro.
President Bill Clinton has two public events planned in Hartford and New Haven on Monday. He plans to campaign for Hillary Clinton just one day before the primary, along with former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords and Captain Mark Kelly.
