I’m excited to be up here with two of my kids – my daughter Hannah, my daughter Cecily – who [unintelligible]. So let's just say – walking through polling places today was an amazing day. There were so many long lines, so many new voters waiting to be registered to vote, and we're likely to have a record turnout for a midterm election. I […]

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 […]

Hello everyone! Welcome to Boom Island. Where are we? We don’t let a little cold stop us, do we? Like are you guys even cold?

My friends Senator Tina Smith and Governor Walz. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who […]

Thank you everyone. Thank you for coming out and supporting us. Folks, it's been a long tough, race. We gave it our all, and I am so grateful for all the commitment that you all showed and all the hard work. Unfortunately, we got so close and the voters decided to remain on the current path. I respect their decision. Just a while ago I called Congressman Barr and congratulated him on his victory. I know that we all hope that he returns to Washington with a renewed sense of […]

Wow. You’ve all been with me for the last couple years, and it’s been a little chaotic. But we know that in chaos lies opportunity. And tonight, with this win, comes opportunity. Tonight, we celebrate an historic moment, a moment we should all be proud of, because it was born in our deep belief in what we have to do to make America what it can be and what it should be. This was the first step towards realizing that vision because for the first time in over three decades, […]
