Senator, I am honored to be chosen as your running mate. I will be honored to serve next to the next president of the United States. I know that when Sen.

Good afternoon, everyone. It is great to be here great to see all of you. You know, I am always inspired when I see so many young conservatives who have come to Washington, D.C., come to our nation's capital. You are good for my heart.

Town Hall Meeting at USAID - July 13, 2009
July 13, 2009
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you all. Well, thank you. I am delighted to be back here at USAID with all of you. I want to thank Alonzo for that kind introduction. He is absolutely right. When I found out he wouldn't be here, we waited until he got back from that college tour. He took his daughter to Wellesley, and one of the recruiting comments now made as young women are shown around is, "You have a really good chance if you go to Wellesley to become […]

February 26, 2015
Thank you so much. Thank you so much and good afternoon. When I was a little girl, my mother in Sunday school gave me a plaque that read, What you are is God's gift to you, what you make of yourself is your gift to God. Years later I would be fortunate enough to enroll in Stanford University where I would earn a degree in medieval history and philosophy. All dressed up and nowhere to go. Although that degree has come in handy recently since our president keeps talking about […]

Remarks at Wellesley College - June 11, 2012
June 11, 2012
Good morning. Oh, good morning. It is wonderful for me to have this opportunity to be here with all of you. I want to thank President Bottomly for the introduction and for understanding that the education of women does not stop at the campus's edge or even a country's border. This event, being held for the first time here at Wellesley, would not have been possible without the commitment and leadership of all the so-called sister schools including Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Scripps College whose President Lori Bettison-Varga […]

July 15, 2014
CHRISTENSEN: Thank you, Kim. Thank you, everyone. Thank you for coming out. I want to thank the CRRA, Our Town Frederiksted, and, of course, the Democratic Party for hosting it and for hosting this in Frederiksted. I think it's very appropriate that it is held here in Frederiksted because Frederiksted is really the poster child for all of the challenges that are confronting this territory. But you know what, it's also the poster child for the opportunities that are waiting for us to seize. The people of the Virgin Islands, […]
