January 15, 2009
Thank you Mr. President. And I am so honored to be here at the same time with my friend and a colleague whom I admire so much and have such great affection for -- the Vice President-elect Joe Biden. I listened with great enthusiasm and a lot of sentiment to the speech that he delivered just a few minutes ago. And the way he evoked the Senate and the relationships that are developed here and the work that is done on behalf of our country was as good as I've […]

Stump Speech - April 8, 2010
April 8, 2010
I want to tell you a little bit about myself, and then we’ll go into why I’m running and then let you ask some questions because it’s more interesting to hear from you than it is from me. I was born and raised in the small town of Bamberg, which, if any of you know where that is, it is a small little town that you couldn’t think about doing something wrong without somebody already calling and telling your mom. It was a great place to grow up because we […]

Thank you, Kentuckians. My fellow Kentuckians, it is an honor to stand before you as your nominee. Thank you for the overwhelming confidence that you have in the campaign we, together, are running and the race we will win in November. Together we will take this fight to Mitch McConnell and hold him accountable for his 30 years of failed leadership. Together we will make history and Kentucky will finally get a senator who puts people above partisanship, one that will work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, […]

Candidacy Announcement for 2014 U.S. Senate Race - Nov. 30, 2012
November 30, 2012
Good morning, everybody. It's a bright day, yes. As Little Shelley said, "Today is my 29th birthday plus 30." Today is my 59th birthday. I was actually born on Thanksgiving. My brother and sister are here, probably ruined by brother's day because he got a little sister. When I was born on Thanksgiving Day, my parents always said that they were going to name me Thankful Evermore. They didn't, but I am thankful evermore today for all of you, for many of the faces I see in the crowd today […]

April 7, 2012
Tremendous speakers that we have heard from tonight. I think James hit on some very important points that many of you or everyone here have really displayed in taking that first action step. We discussed a lot about different things that we can do, different things that we should do better, and different ideas that we need to consider as we are talking about how we rebuild our dream and reclaim our dream here. I think one key component that we have all put into practice here tonight that many […]

It is truly an honor and a privilege to be here today. I flew in early this morning from Oahu. Being here today with all of you, seeing the beautiful Kauai breezes blowing through all of these flags as we honor those who have come before us, who have sacrificed their own lives selflessly is truly, truly a privilege and very humbling for me just to be here and to be here before all of you. You guys are my heroes. You set the standard for all of us to […]

This has been an incredible day. A day that has shown us that no matter how young, old, or in between we are, our rights are at stake and we are not going back. Are we? We are not going back. Today we celebrate an incredible milestone, 39 years since the Supreme Court of the United States guaranteed the women of this country our right to privacy. The right to keep decisions about our bodies between us and our doctors. Even though some are still trying to strip us of […]
