Thank you all so much. Thank you. Thank you. It's great to be here with all of you. I'm looking out at the audience and seeing so many familiar faces, as well as those here up on the dais.

Remarks at Sen. Joni Ernst's Roast and Ride - June 6, 2015
June 6, 2015
Howdy! How's everybody? How's everybody? This morning, I was walking in Story City's Scandinavian Days parade, and I was shaking a lot of hands. I was shaking so many hands that I fell behind my float, the Story County GOP float, and I learned that in Iowa if you fall behind your float, you can hitch a ride with a nice gentleman on his John Deere tractor. It was recently a poll earlier, this week, that asked Americans who they most wanted to see debate Hillary Clinton. I was gratified […]

I announced today that I'm forming a presidential exploratory committee. I'm not just starting a campaign, though. I'm beginning conversation with you, with America, because we all need to be part of the discussion if we're all going to be part of the solution – and all of us have to be part of the solution.

Withdrawal After Iowa Defeat in 2012 - Jan. 12, 2012
January 12, 2012
Michele Bachmann announces that she is dropping out of the Republican race after coming in last among the six candidates who competed in Iowa. Entrusted to every American is the responsibility to watch over our republic. You can look back from the time of the Pilgrims to the time of William Penn, to the time of our Founding Fathers. All we have to do is look around because very clearly we are encompassed about with a great cloud of witnesses that bear witness to the sacrifices that were made to […]

I'm Running for President- May 4, 2015
May 4, 2015
CLIP FROM HILLARY CLINTON ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO: I'm getting ready to do something, too. I'm running for president. FIORINA: Our founders never intended us to have a professional political class. They believed that citizens and leaders needed to step forward. We know the only way to reimagine our government is to reimagine who is leading it. I’m Carly Fiorina, and I'm running for president. If you're tired of the sound bites, the vitriol, the pettiness, the egos, the corruption, if you believe it's time to declare the end of identity politics, […]
