Campaign Speech at the Story County Iowa Democrats Soup Supper- Jan. 23, 2016
January 23, 2016
Hello, Democrats! [applause] I love being in Ames. I live in northwest Iowa, I grew up in Des Moines and went to Iowa State. So you can imagine that I don't get to spend a lot of time around a lot of Democrats, so I'm just glowing in all of this fun. Ames is like a hometown to me. My dad was an engineer. He went to South Dakota School of Mines but he adopted Iowa State when he and my mom moved to Des Moines. When I was applying […]

But this one's personal. New Yorkers, you've always, you've always had my back. And I've always tried to have yours. Today, together, we did it again and I am deeply, deeply grateful.

First I want to say thank you to Curt Blair, I know you were the driving force behind this and I want to say thank you. It means so much to see everyone here, because this race is about everyone in this room, everyone across the 2nd congressional district, which happens to be, in case you did not know, the largest district in Florida.

Housing and the Mortgage Crisis - Aug. 7, 2007
August 7, 2007
Thank you so much, Christie. And it's not easy to come here and do this, for her and for her family. I am just very grateful that she would share her story. Of course, it's an abbreviated version of her story. Her husband's job was outsourced. He actually trained his replacement. That's when they ran into all the problems that they faced with trying to pay the mortgage payments that kept going up. And I don't know whether there is anybody in this audience or anyone who, through the media, […]
