Marianne Williamson is Running For President - March 4, 2023
March 4, 2023
I’m Marianne Williamson, and when I was growing up, America had a vibrant middle class. The average American worker had decent benefits, could afford a home, could afford a car, could afford a yearly vacation, could afford for one member of the couple to stay home if they wished, and could afford to send their kids to college. But over the last 50 years, there has been a massive transfer of wealth, to the tune of 50 trillion dollars, from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. Decimating […]

This is incredible – thank you so much for being here this evening. I want to start just by thanking the lieutenant governor for first of all those kind words and for being such a tremendous important part of this team. I also want to take a moment to just to thank the Iowans who shared their story with us – really thanks for demonstrating the pride that Iowans fill in this incredible place we call home. And I also, most importantly, I want to thank my family for being […]

Thank Madam Speaker, and Mr. Majority Leader, and America. The president promised ‘help is on the way’ – and today, help has arrived.

2021 Mid Year Conference, Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative Announcement - June, 2021
June 20, 2021
Another issue that is so personal to me is the devastating history of the U.S. government’s boarding school policies. Like many of you, I was deeply impacted by the news of 215 Indigenous children found in a mass grave at a boarding school in Canada. I couldn’t help but think of their families – each of those children is a missing family member – a person who was not able to live out their purpose, because forced assimilation policies ended their lives too soon. I thought of my own child, […]

Kathy Hochul on Cuomo Resignation - Aug. 11, 2021
August 11, 2021
I spoke with Governor Cuomo yesterday and he pledged his full support for a smooth transition and I thanked him for his service to our state. Regarding his decision to step down, I believe it is appropriate and in the best interest of the state of New York. And while it was not expected, it is a day for which I am prepared. I've already spoken with Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, Speaker Carl Hasty, labor, business, faith leaders, other state elected officials as well as our tri-state governors. […]

January 28, 2019
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm so eager to speak with you tonight and so grateful that you came. I want to start out by telling you a little something about my childhood. My parents were married over 50 years. They loved each other. They were a good marriage. But I think, and looking back today, we might have thought of them as a bit of an odd couple. My mother came not from a wealthy family, but from a well-to-do […]

Presidential Campaign Announcement - January 28, 2019
January 28, 2019
I am so proud to be a daughter of Oakland, California. And as most of you know, I was born just up the road at Kaiser Hospital. And it was just a few miles away my parents first met as graduate students at UC Berkeley where they were active in the civil rights movement. They were born half a world apart from each other. My father, Donald, came from Jamaica to study economics. My mother, Shyamala, came from India to study the science of fighting disease. They came here in […]
