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 […]

Remarks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - July 26, 2016
July 26, 2016
“Fat pigs.” “Dogs.” “Disgusting.” That is what Donald Trump thinks of women. That's what he sees in our daughters and our mothers and our sisters and our grandmothers of this country. Is that how he sees our place in America? I am here from the great state of Wisconsin – the Badger State. I am here to tell you that I see things very, very differently! I am here to tell you that Hillary Clinton sees them differently, too. She sees America with very different vision, and I see America […]

Remarks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - July 27, 2016
July 27, 2016
Hello, Democrats! I am Maxine Waters, and I’m a proud Democrat from the progressive state of California. The primary season has ended, and we have so much to be proud of. As a member of the platform committee, I have no problem with giving Bernie Sanders credit for contributing to our historic progressive platform. And I am thrilled – absolutely thrilled – to acknowledge Secretary Hillary Clinton’s work to unite and strengthen our Democratic Party. Tomorrow night, Hillary Clinton will accept the party’s nomination and we must leave this convention […]

Address at 2012 Democratic National Convention - Sept. 5, 2012
September 5, 2012
I'm Elizabeth Warren, and this is my first Democratic Convention. I never thought I'd run for Senate. And I sure never dreamed that I'd get to be the warm-up act for President Bill Clinton. He’s an amazing man, who had the good sense to marry one of the coolest women on the planet. I want to give a special shout out to the Massachusetts delegation. I'm counting on you to help me win and to help President Obama win. I'm here tonight to talk about hard-working people: people who get […]
