1976 Democratic National Convention Keynote Address - July 12, 1976
July 12, 1976
Thank you ladies and gentlemen for a very warm reception. It was one hundred and forty-four years ago that members of the Democratic Party first met in convention to select a Presidential candidate. Since that time, Democrats have continued to convene once every four years and draft a party platform and nominate a Presidential candidate. And our meeting this week is a continuation of that tradition. But there is something different about tonight. There is something special about tonight. What is different? What is special? I, Barbara Jordan, am a […]

1992 Democratic Keynote Address - July 13, 1992
July 13, 1992
"Change: From What to What?" At this time; at this place; at this event sixteen years ago -- I presented a keynote address. I thank you for the return engagement and with modesty would remind you that we won the presidency in November, 1976. Why not 1992? It is possible to win. It is possible but you must believe that we can and well do it. I will talk with you for the next few minutes about some of the changes which are necessary for victory. I have entitled my […]

Innovation and Economy - May 31, 2007
May 31, 2007
It is a real pleasure for me to be here, speaking to the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, which I understand has been around for nearly 30 years. It is hard to believe that 30 years have passed but it is clear that those 30 years revolutionized our country and our world. And I am grateful for the contribution that all of you have made to that revolution. You know it as well as anyone, the benefits that spring from globalization. It has lifted more people out of poverty around the […]

Announcement of Candidacy - Jan. 12, 2005
January 12, 2005
Hi, I'm Doris Matsui. My family and I want to thank you for the outpouring of love and support you've shown us this past week. Sacramento was Bob's home, and I know he would have been deeply moved. You know, I also think he might have been a bit embarrassed. After all, he would be the first to remind us all that his work... ...his commitment to equality ...his dedication to guaranteeing dignity for the elderly ...his tireless work to make Sacramento a better place to live and raise a […]

Address at the 2008 Democratic National Convention - Aug. 25, 2008
August 25, 2008
first-hand that America's middle class families desperately need change. This is especially true for minorities. We cannot afford four more years the gridlock and that stagnation that currently reigns in Washington. There's an old Mexican saying: "dime con quien andas, y te dire quien eres." "Tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are." Senator McCain has voted lockstep with Bush 90 percent of the time. Anyone who is a friend of Bush 90 percent of the time isn't a friend of America’s working families. We […]

November 6, 2012
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Palm Beach of Broward County for giving me the…thank you for giving me the honor of being your next United States congresswoman! Let me just say, a few moments ago I received a very, very gracious call from Adam Hasner congratulating me. He was a formidable and articulate challenger and let me just say this: aren’t we fortunate that we live in a country when we settle our differences at a ballot box and not on a street. So listen, I want to thank […]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for your patience. It’s been a long campaign. It’s been a long day. Thank you so much to Nancy Wieyman.
