Remarks at the 2008 Democratic National Convention - Aug. 25, 2008
August 25, 2008
My fellow delegates, are you fired up and ready to go? Are you tired of that subprime leadership in the White House? In 2006, people all across America voted for change in Washington. We took back the Senate. We took back the House, and now, in 2008, it’s time to complete that change and put Barack Obama into the White House. I arrived in Washington in a little different style than some of the other Senators. Unlike the senator from Arizona, my family doesn’t have a private jet. I left […]

Speech on Energy Policy - June 19, 2006
June 19, 2006
Thank you. Thanks everyone for coming. I'm here today to talk about the serious choice that the people of Minnesota will face this November. Our country can continue down the road of failed policies that Washington has brought us with the gas prices up towards $3 a gallon, with global warming on the rise, with a 60% increase in health care premiums in the last 6 years, with tuition costs up 80% at the University of Minnesota and a war with no end in sight. Or they can choose a […]

Thank you all very much. I appreciate the hospitality of Xunlight Energy, and all the people of Toledo. The folks at Xunlight are doing great work for this community and our country. Every day, when there are no cameras around to draw attention to it, this company and others like it are engaged in the great enterprise of energy independence. And what we see here is just a glimpse of much bigger things to come. Solar power is one of many alternative energy sources that are changing our economy for […]

Comments at Pennsylvania Rally - Oct.11, 2008
October 11, 2008
In this same spirit, as defenders of the culture of life, John McCain and I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life. I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child? When I learned that my son Trig would have special needs, I had to prepare my heart for the challenges to come. At first I was scared, and Todd and I […]

Remarks at the 2008 Republican National Convention - Sept. 4, 2008
September 4, 2008
Thank you everyone. John and I are so proud of them and so happy to have them here with us tonight. Nothing has made me happier or more fulfilled in my life than being a mother. But while John and I take great joy in having been able to spend time together this week as a family, our hearts go out to the thousands of families who have had to leave their homes once again due to devastating weather. It is not only our natural instinct to rally to them, […]

The Presidency tests all who have been there. It has […]

Candidacy Announcement - Sept. 26, 2015
September 26, 2015
My name is Kim Weaver and I'm running for Congress in Iowa's 4th District. I grew up in Iowa and my parents taught me to live by Iowa values, and I will fight for those values in Congress. I raised three terrific children in Sheldon, but as a single mom I sometimes struggled to make ends meet. Living through those experiences helped me to see that a responsible government is there for Iowans when they need it. While Steve King has spent the last 12 years hurling insults on Fox […]

Deborah Ross - Oct. 14, 2015
October 14, 2015
My dad was a doctor in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. My mom, a community volunteer, taught me to help others. My two brothers and I grew up in a strong family that believed service to our country and our community was part of living our values. And then when I was around thirteen years old, just entering junior high school. I met Mrs. Pass, an American history teacher from a small town in North Carolina who taught me what our Constitution and the Bill of Rights meant. […]

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 […]
