    It's a shame that tonight's won't reflect the diversity of our party. I'm not going to be on the stage, but our pathway to victory is still very real. If you're with me, chip in now so we can keep spreading our message to voters:
  • So much truth in this quote from Bryan Stevenson → “We have a system of justice in this country that treats you much better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent.”
  • The increasing frequency of anti-Semitic attacks is horrifying. We must all join to stop them in their tracks and root out the hatred and ignorance at their core. My heart is with the victims in Monsey, their families, and the entire Jewish community.
  • Social mobility is one of the things that makes America great, a land of dreamers. Every kid should have a fair shot at that opportunity.
  • We need to take steps to fix our long-term care system so that families don’t go broke taking care of their loved ones. I have a plan to address this:
  • Public education is the best investment in our children's future. My plan would: 🍎Give public school teachers a well-deserved raise. 📖Dramatically increase funding for low-income schools. ✏️Ensure every child can attend a quality preschool.
  • Abortion rights shouldn’t matter to men because women are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends. They should matter to men—to everyone—because women are people.
  • If we can't take care of our veterans when they come home, then we shouldn't be sending them off to war in the first place. I will fight against privatizing the VA and work to ensure world-class health care for every American who served our country in the armed forces.

    My heart is hurting for the victims of the Alpine Motel Apartments fire. Please keep the families of all those impacted by this horrible event in your thoughts and prayers. Just devastating! For information on how to help visit
  • The fact that no Black woman has ever been elected governor shows that our democracy still has a long way to go to elect the right leaders who truly represent the people they govern. We need to protect and expand voting rights for ALL Americans.
  • Americans are finding that they have more month at the end of their money than money at the end of their month. My Rise Credit would benefit nearly half of all Americans by putting cash into their pockets to help with the rising cost of living.
  • I was a pro-labor mayor, now I'm a pro-labor senator—and if you send me to the White House, I'll be a pro-labor president.
