Announcement for U.S. Senate candidacy - Oct. 5, 2015
October 5, 2015
Wherever you go in New Hampshire, our state's enormous potential isn't just something you see, it's something you feel. And we've been working together to realize that potential. We've promoted business innovation and helped expand economic opportunity. We froze tuition at our state universities and lowered it at our community colleges; extended health care coverage to over 40,000 hard-working Granite Staters; began fixing our highways, roads and bridges. Republicans and Democrats came together to cut taxes for research and development and small businesses while maintaining fiscal responsibility. We held the […]

Campaign Announcement: Making Progress Work - March 10, 2015
March 10, 2015
EDWARDS: Eight years ago, developers were set to block my neighborhood's access to the Potomac shoreline. I was a single mom, putting my son through school, working full-time, paying back student loans, and struggling to make ends meet. The last thing I had time for was a political fight, but I knew if I didn't take a stand the modest, middle-class lives my neighbors and I were living might be destroyed forever. So we fought and we won. And today National Harbor supports over a thousand union jobs. And we […]

Launch Statement - June 30, 2016
June 30, 2016
Good morning, and thank you for coming. I want to start by paying tribute to the Prime Minister. It is easy to forget how far the Conservative Party – and our country – have come since David Cameron was first elected leader in 2005. Thanks to David, we were elected into government for the first time in eighteen years. We won a majority in the House of Commons for the first time in 23 years. And – in difficult times – we stabilized the economy, reduced the deficit and helped […]

Launches Campaign for Governor- April 18, 2011
April 18, 2011
I am not going to make you wait. I am running for governor of our wonderful state of West Virginia. Because West Virginia is at a crossroads right now. We have the opportunity to move forward like never before, with a new way of thinking and bold leadership. But we do have our challenges, we know that. Our unemployment has risen above the national average for the first time, and the global industry is threatening to pass us by. If our leaders are willing to work hard enough, and smart […]

March 31, 2015
Good morning. Thank you everyone for being here this morning. I'm really glad to be in our great state capital. You know, for the past several months as I faced this decision, I spent a lot of time thinking about how I achieved my American Dream, from working my way through college, and becoming an Army helicopter pilot, and Bryan and I getting married and using our VA loan guarantee to buy our first home in DeKalb, and now, as some of you may know, the great joy in my […]

January 20, 2007
Hillary Clinton released a web video on January 20, 2007, announcing that she was forming a presidential exploratory committee. I announced today that I'm forming a presidential exploratory committee. I'm not just starting a campaign, though. I'm beginning conversation with you, with America, because we all need to be part of the discussion if we're all going to be part of the solution – and all of us have to be part of the solution. Let's talk about how to bring the right end to the war in Iraq and […]

Senator Barry Goldwater won the Republican nomination, but Smith came in second to Goldwater by receiving 27 delegate votes at the Republican National Convention in San Francisco, California. Madam Chairman, distinguished guests, and friends: I'm […]
