Remarks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - July 28, 2016
July 28, 2016
All right, Democrats! I actually want to speak tonight to those Americans who feel you've been left behind. The Americans who believe you've been cheated. Who believe that those at the top don't care about you. Now I know a little something about this, because I was governor of Michigan – the epicenter of America's manufacturing rise, and its painful fall, AND its resurgence. Michigan built the automobile and the automobile built America. But when the manufacturing industry fell on hard times, so did Michigan, so did many of your […]

Thank you for that introduction, and hello, Ohio! It is good to be here! You guys are fabulous! I love you best because you're loud! Yes! That's what we need in this campaign. I actually have to start with my thank-yous, and my first thank you is to say thank you for sending Senator Sherrod Brown to the United States Senate. He's a great friend and I love him. Fabulous, I want to say. And thank you for what you're going to do, and that is send Ted Strickland to […]

Remarks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - July 25, 2016
July 25, 2016
Hello and thank you for joining us in Philadelphia, The City of Brotherly and Sisterly Love! I am running for United States Senate here in Pennsylvania. I know that during these last few days you’ve seen that Pennsylvania is great, and it is great for the same reasons of America is great: hard work, timeless values, and the belief that we each must look out for each other. I was raised here in Philadelphia. The ninth of ten kids in a big, loud Irish family. My grandparents were Irish immigrants. […]

Wow! Thank you all so much for being here. Wow. Thanks to my family for being here. I want them to know that they are my inspiration for wanting to make this world a better place. I'm here today because of my late father, Bob, who was part of a family business, Minter's Candy. He taught me the value of hard work and he showed that when businesses succeed, communities thrive. I'm here because of my mom, Evelyn. She was the daughter of a varnish maker from St. Louis, Missouri, […]

Remarks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - July 25, 2016
July 25, 2016
Some people know me as a United States senator from New York. But during school drop off and pick up, I'm better known as Theo and Henry's mom. Like most working parents, my husband and I juggle a lot. We're fortunate to have flexibility, but some days we still barely keep it together. The vast majority of working parents have it much tougher. They're struggling with too little time, too little money, and too little support. And Washington hasn't caught up to their reality. Families today look almost nothing like […]

Thank you, delegates! And thank you, Pam Livengood, for sharing your family’s story here today. I applaud your courage. Democrats stand with you, your family, and all families struggling with addiction. And President Hillary Clinton will stand with you and we will win this fight together. The opioid and heroin epidemic is ravaging communities all across this country. It’s a crisis that affects old and young, rich and poor, men and women, Democrats and Republicans. And it will take all of us working together to defeat it. Across my home […]

Democratic Women of the Senate at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - Jul. 28, 2016
July 28, 2016
Sen. Barbara Mikulski In 1987, I was the first Democratic woman elected to the Senate in her own right. Yes, the history of women in the Senate is that short—it's about 4'11". Though I was the first, I didn't want to be the only. I lit one candle, but I wanted more women, so we could light a torch, and lighten the load on all of you. As our ranks have grown, I've had the privilege of mentoring so many talented women. And you know what? In 2000, I got […]
