    I’m running for president. Let’s prove that brave wins. Join me:
  • Leadership requires bravery. And if we don't have the courage to take on the most urgent threat we face, then what are we doing?
  • If you're elected president, you have to represent everyone. It makes no sense for the outcome of our elections to not actually reflect the number of votes received.
  • It's absurd that the leader of our country is chosen by a distorted system instead of the voices of all Americans. Proud to support 's bill to abolish the Electoral College.

    What's at stake today? A fair and impartial judiciary. @JudgeBrianHagedorn's extreme partisan agenda has no place in our highest court. There are only a few hours left to go vote for —don't sit this one out, Wisconsin!

    . to host a Town Hall with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, moderated by on Tuesday, April 9th at 10pm ET in Washington, DC:
  • If women made up 51% of our elected offices, do you think we'd still be fighting for equal pay, affordable daycare, and paid leave? I think it's time to change who's at the decision-making table, and start prioritizing issues that have taken a back seat for too long.
  • President Trump is a bully and a coward, and his callousness towards Puerto Ricans who are still suffering is outrageous. He needs to stop lying and start helping our fellow citizens on the island—and I won't vote for a bill that cuts out the aid and rebuilding money they need.

    They super didn’t. 91 Billion was the estimated DAMAGE. Puerto Rico is still WAITING for most of their allocated relief funds, while our president lies to himself and lies to you.
  • The fact that we have a gender pay gap in 2019 means we're still struggling to value women in this country—and women of color even more. We need to make basic structural changes to ensure women can make what they earn.
  • Women on average may make 20% less than white men—and many women of color much less—but your glass will be 100% full with our new mug. Get yours and support our campaign to fight for equal pay for equal work:
     
  • When presidents are elected without the majority of Americans' votes, something is seriously broken in our democracy. Let's fix it.
  • Our democracy is built on the principle of one person, one vote. It can't function until we restore that principle. It's time to abolish the Electoral College.

  • I'm so honored to address the 2019 graduates of New England College this May. Students are the future leaders of our country, and deserve our support in all ways—from expanding their opportunities to supporting their future careers and families. See you soon, !
  • President Trump is tearing apart the moral fabric of this country. He demonizes the vulnerable and punches down. He puts his name in bold on every building. He does this because he wants us to believe he's strong. He's not. Our President is a coward. Americans deserve better .
  • We’re a few hours away from our biggest test of the campaign: the first FEC filing deadline. We have to show we have what it takes to pass a Green New Deal, Medicare For All, and national paid leave. If you're with me, donate $3 before midnight:
