Remarks at the 2015 Unite IE Conservative Conference- Feb. 21, 2015
February 21, 2015
Well good morning? How's everybody? Good! Whenever I hear an introduction like that it's so gracious and complimentary and in kind of makes it sound like life is one smooth ascent. Of course it's not. So I want to tell you a little bit about my story because it is the American story. When I was a little girl my mother was my Sunday school teacher, when I was eight years old. Don't worry this won't take too long. And she gave to me and her other students a plaque […]

The Messenger and the Message: Getting it Right- November 3, 2014
November 3, 2014
Fiorina gave this speech at Southern New Hampshire University. One on the distinctions that I want to draw as we get started here, is between the democrats who engage in identity politics and republicans who are focused on unlocking everyone's potential. We are not focused on engaging women because women are better than men. We are not focused on engaging women because we think women are an identity group that only cares about certain issues. We're focused on engaging women because women are half the talent in this country. Women […]

New Hampshire Republican Leadership Summit 2015- April 18, 2015
April 18, 2015
Welcome. I'm so delighted to be with you here today. You know, when I was a little girl my mother one Sunday morning in Sunday school looked at me and said, what you are is God's gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift to God. It seemed like a promise that I had God-given gifts, and it seemed like a challenge as well that I needed to find them and use them. I would go on eventually to enroll in Stanford University, where I would graduate […]

On Running for President - May 6, 2008
May 6, 2008
This is an excerpt from a speech at Woody Tanger Auditorium in the Brooklyn College Library. But in 1988, I looked at running for president. I keep thinking how I always thought that the world was changing so much faster than it was. That’s probably the biggest mistake I’ve always made in my life. When I got elected in ’73, I asked the Library of Congress how long it would be before half the house would be female, like the population. And the answer was 425 years, and I thought, […]
