Remarks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - July 27, 2016
July 27, 2016
Hello, fellow Democrats! What a crowd! It’s great to be here today. We have important work ahead of us. Work that will determine the future of our country. Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? I’m ready. In Congress, I learned a powerful lesson: Strong women get things done! Hillary is tough. Hillary is courageous. She will fight to make our families safer. In the White House, she will stand up to the gun lobby. That’s why I’m voting for Hillary! Speaking is difficult for me. But come […]

Hello, friends! Hello, Democrats! I’m here to make the case for a leader who, as you just saw, is focused on security: security for our country, security for our economy, and our democracy. A leader who knows we are all more secure when women and girls have the opportunity to lead with their heads high and their strides strong. That leader is Hillary Clinton. She sees a world where girls are not captured and sold but are fearless and bold; where they lead, not follow. And where when someone tells […]

Good evening. It is my honor to stand before you tonight as a proud member of the progressive California delegation, and to acknowledge my D’Alesandro, Maryland, roots. It is a privilege to stand before you as the leader of the House Democrats – a caucus honored to serve with our partner Senate Leader Harry Reid, our friend Vice President Joe Biden, and with one of the greatest Presidents in our history, President Barack Obama! Together we passed the Affordable Care Act, together we passed the Lilly Ledbetter Act, Reinvestment in […]

Twelve years ago, I was copiloting a Black Hawk helicopter over Iraq. A rocket-propelled grenade ripped through our cockpit, and I am only here tonight because of the miracles that followed. Some I can explain, like the bravery of my crew, determined not to leave me behind. Some I can't, like the shrapnel from the explosion passing through the spinning rotor blades without destroying them, allowing us to land. What I do know is that I started that day doing what I loved. I ended it knocked down. Surviving only […]

July 26, 2016
I have a questions: Are you ready to elect the very first woman president of these United States of America? Let me hear it! Yes! I want to talk to you very personally, because I have known Hillary Clinton for more than 20 years. We're actually family. My daughter was married to her brother, so my beloved grandson is her beloved nephew. Yes. So I know her as the loving aunt who helped plan my grandson's birthday parties when he was a toddler. I saw her rush over after a […]

Good evening, fellow Democrats! I'm thrilled to see so many people from the great state of Ohio here tonight. It is an honor to be here on this historic evening, when we move one step closer to electing the 45th president of these United States of America. Yes, united not divided. I emphasize "united" because—like Hillary Clinton—I know that we are Stronger Together. This election to me is about choosing between two fundamentally different visions of America, and I believe the choice is crystal clear. Hillary Clinton is by far […]

I am Congresswoman Judy Chu from California, and I am proud to be the first Chinese-American woman ever elected to Congress! Standing with me are my fellow Asian-American and Pacific Islander—or AAPI—Members of Congress. Many of them, too, are trailblazers in their own right. And we are all proud to support Hillary Clinton for President of the United States! It wasn't too long ago that if you saw an Asian Pacific American walking in the U.S. Capitol, you had to stop and do a double-take. But how things have changed. […]

Thank you. It is such an honor for me to be here tonight. I'm here as a proud American… a proud Democrat... a proud mother... and tonight in particular, a very, very proud daughter. Marc and I almost can't quite believe it, but our daughter, Charlotte, is nearly two years old. She loves Elmo... she loves blueberries... and above all, she loves Facetiming with Grandma. My mom can be about to walk on stage for a debate or a speech. It just doesn't matter. She'll drop everything for a few […]

July 21, 2016
Well, hello there, Tennessee! And hello to everybody here tonight. And to all of you who are watching us at home on iPhones and on Twitter, welcome! I have a question for you. Do you—do you—want to help make America one again? Let me hear you! Alright! You know, we have all had enough of bloated budgets, unkept promises and pointless red lines. We've had enough division and enough heated rhetoric that serves to only drive a wedge between us and our neighbor. Enough of seeing our 401k's get smaller, […]

Thank you. All right America, I have a question. Are you ready for change? Me, too. All right. I grew up in Tecumseh, a small town in Oklahoma. It was one of those all-American towns where everyone watches high school football on Friday nights, and neighbors take care of neighbors. In Tecumseh, we understood poverty. But it wasn't a destiny that was inevitable. We were optimistic about our future, and knew we could succeed with hard work, a good education and faith in God. There weren't very many opportunities for […]
