Hello, NAACP. It is so good to be here with all of you. I want to start by thanking my long-time friend and colleague, my collaborator and partner in so many important causes, Hazel Dukes is a treasure. A treasure not only for New York, but for the NAACP and for our country. Thank you so much, dear Hazel. I want to thank your Chair, Roslyn Brock. Thank you so much, Madam Chair, your president and CEO Cornell Brooks, and everyone here today, including all of elected officials who have […]

Remarks at the 2016 Republican National Convention - July 18, 2016
July 18, 2016
Distinguished delegates, Republicans, and millions of my fellow Americans watching around the country, especially those in Iowa: it’s an honor to be with you in Cleveland, and to be on this stage with fellow veterans. Among them are Special Operations Master Sargent Jason Beardsley, and my colleague, Congressman and Navy SEAL Ryan Zinke, who you’ll hear from shortly. I never would have imagined a farm girl like me, from Montgomery County, would have the opportunity to serve as the first woman elected to federal office from Iowa: however, my parents […]

First Campaign Speech- July 15, 2013
July 15, 2013
Thank you very much, and thank you all for allowing me to be here this evening. My name is Joni Ernst, I am a Republican, and I am running for U.S. Senate. Let me just explain to you why I am running for U.S. Senate. I believe that all of the values that I hold dear, things that I have fought for, for 20 years, are being threatened by failed policies of this president. And that’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate. Three things. I am a mother, I am […]

Olympia J Snowe
Speeches
Weekly Republican Address - Dec. 3, 2011
December 3, 2011
Hello, I’m Senator Olympia Snowe from Maine. In the coming days, the United States Senate will have a long overdue debate and vote on a constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget. And let there be no mistake, we have no greater duty than to once and for all obligate the government to live within its means and spend no more than what it takes in. I have been a longtime champion of a balanced budget amendment in both the House and Senate to prevent precisely the kind of […]
Kay Bailey Hutchison
Speeches
Weekly Republican Address - May 21, 2011
May 21, 2011
Hi, I’m United States Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison from Texas. With energy prices soaring nationwide, many American families are struggling to put gas in their cars and trucks. We are seeing the price of food and other goods rise. An overwhelming majority of Americans say gas prices are causing financial hardship for their families. And more than half say they have had to make major changes to their budgets to compensate. Unfortunately, rather than work to increase domestic energy production and help bring down gas prices, the Obama administration is […]
Kay Bailey Hutchison
Speeches
Weekly Republican Address - April 24, 2010
April 24, 2010
I’m Kay Bailey Hutchison, United States Senator from Texas. For more than a year, Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill have been working to craft legislation that would prevent another catastrophic financial crisis like we saw in the fall of 2008. Republicans are working to ensure the bill would forbid any future bailouts of Wall Street banks. The idea that a financial institution is ‘Too Big To Fail’ perverts free market capitalism. It suggests that large firms can privatize their profits, yet socialize their risks. Or, put simply, these companies […]

March 3, 2016
Hello and how are you doing? Welcome to CPAC. Are you excited to be here? Especially in a presidential year? You know, I'm loving this election. Aren't you? It is all about change. It is about sending a message to D.C., and it is about getting this nation back on track. And what I really like about it is, people are kind of going back to school on politics. I have constituents who are reading the constitution, watching the debates with their families and most importantly of all, the people […]
Kelly Ayotte
Speeches
Weekly Republican Address - March 5, 2016
March 5, 2016
Hello, I'm Kelly Ayotte, and I'm proud to represent the great state of New Hampshire in the United States Senate. For the past few years, I've been working to bring attention to the heroin and prescription opioid abuse epidemic that is impacting my state and communities nationwide. This is a life or death issue. In 2015, four hundred twenty New Hampshire residents lost their lives to a drug overdose—more than the number of people killed in traffic accidents. In February alone, there were 14 suspected opioid overdose deaths in Manchester—a […]

Speeches
Weekly Republican Address - Jan. 23, 2016
January 23, 2016
Hi, I’m Lisa Murkowski. I’m proud to represent the great state of Alaska in the U.S. Senate, where I serve as Chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. And I’m pleased that just days from now, the Senate will consider broad energy legislation. Following the passage of a highway bill, education reform, and many others, the energy bill promises to be our next bipartisan accomplishment on behalf of the American people. It will also be the first major energy legislation considered on the Senate floor since 2007. It’s been […]
