I won the youth vote in Massachusetts and in California. I did very well with it in Ohio.

When I was growing up, my parents always told me that I had to do what I thought was right and not listen to other people. That was hard for me.

But I can tell you another engine for growth and job creation would be comprehensive immigration reform.

I don't think it's at all weakening of the system if people with the same last name put themselves forward to the electorate, when their experiences, their character, and in my case, gender, may be different.

The word democracy comes from the Greek and means, literally, government by the people.

Social Security got passed because John D. Rockefeller was sick of having to take money out of his profits to pay for his workers' pension funds. Why do that, when you can just let the government take money from the workers?

After graduating from college I worked at a variety of jobs, from banking to politics. I enjoyed whatever I was doing at the time but I didn't love my work.

I only have so much time and energy and money, and I'm going to put it into my work.
