Victory Speech - November 6, 2018
November 6, 2018
I think there's probably not much in life that's better than to have that kind of an introduction from a granddaughter. Thank you, thank you. And thank you ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here. Thank you Willie Brown. I remember a long, long time ago, Willie Brown was the very first and only public official to support me when I ran for the Board of Supervisors in 1969, and Willie Brown has been a friend, a mentor, and for me a scholar in the art of politics ever […]

I just want to thank you all so incredibly much for this moment. This victory tonight belongs to each and every single person in this room. [cheers] This room won this seat.

November 6, 2018
How's everybody doing tonight? [cheers] Come on up come on up. We did it! [cheers] I am so honored and humbled to be standing here as your next representative for the 3rd congressional district. [cheers] I entered this race now 18 months ago because I was personally frustrated with those decisions that were being made out in Washington, decisions that are hurting hard-working Iowa families, decisions that are helping only corporations and millionaires and billionaires.

Hey, Iowans! How you doing today? Glad to be out here at the Iowa State Fair. I'm Cindy Axne, and I'm running for the United States Congress to beat David Young. I'll tell you what, I got into this race, boy, now almost 15 months ago because I was personally unhappy with the decisions that were being made out in Washington, decisions that are helping corporations and the wealthy, decisions that are absolutely taking this country and the state backwards, and decisions that are hurting hard-working Iowa families. So I […]

Address Delivered to the Fifth Conference on the Cause and Cure of War - 1930
January 1, 1930
All the cause of war which students of international affairs have seen listed at length, have now, by the application of logic and hard study, been reduced to one. That one is the competition of the war systems of nations. How about amplifying this a little, to show how the alleged other causes are swallowed up in this one? All possible cures of war have likewise been reduced to one: the demobilization of the war institution, not by ruthless destruction, but bit by bit, as fast and as far as […]

Hi. Everybody! So good to see you. What a gorgeous day at the State Fair and great to see so many good friends from labor here. I'll just hop right to it. I’m Abby Finkenauer and I'm running for Congress, because this is personal. I grew up a daughter of a union pipe fitter/welder and my mom just retired from the Dubuque Community School District in February. Actually when she decided to retire, I looked at her and said, “Mom, you're retiring because you just want to spend time with […]

Power of Women Speech – April 13, 2018
April 13, 2018
Six months and eight days ago, a story broke in the New York Times that lit a match on a fire that is still burning. It was about Harvey Weinstein, but as we all know it was about much more than that. It was about the systemic devaluation of women in our society. It was about the abuse of power. It was about the pervasiveness of sexual assault and sexual harassment that women experience every day across America within the existing power structure of society. It was a moment when […]

Victory speech – Nov. 6, 2018
November 6, 2018
I don't have much voice left, but hello, Nevada! You know I always start everything off with a certain rally, so I know most of you know it and it goes like this: Ain't no party like the Democratic Party, because the Democratic Party don't stop. Woo! Well, I have to say we voted and we won and we did all of this together. You know what—it was a really hard-fought campaign and I have to tell you that I just spoke with Senator Heller and he was so gracious […]
