“Most men that run for office wake up in the morning and say, I am worthy to be the president of the United States of America. I want women to channel their inner man and say, Oh yeah, I am worthy.”

“It is un-American, it is unjust to target any group of folks whether they are African-American, Hispanic, poor or elderly when it comes to access to the vote.”

“Real change begins with citizens registering to vote, becoming active and engaged in their communities, and casting their ballot at every election for those who will fairly and accurately represent them.”

“Our state is great, but it can be greater and I am committed to helping realize that potential.”

“It hasn't been for a lack of trying. But we really have to analyze in a deeper way why we have these problems - at least at the state level - electing an African-American.”

“We have an obligation to each other to not only push our politicians but to push companies to do right by their workers.”

“The right to vote is an important guarantee by itself, but it is what those votes add up to that matters even more. These votes shape the government under which we live.”

“The GOP will not be satisfied until women are barefoot, pregnant and back home by 5 o'clock P.M. to cook dinner.”

“In a democracy, a person's vote is their voice. For much of our history, however, not everyone's voice was welcome at the voting booth.”

“My mother raised me herself, along with my six younger siblings, in Cleveland, and life wasn't easy even in the best of times. At age 42, she died, and it fell on me, then aged 22 and working minimum wage, to take care of all of us. At the time, I was newly married with a baby son. And I was deeply afraid for our future.”

“If there is a Republican or a Libertarian or Green Party person that believes in Medicare for all, then that's our kind of person.”

“Any new venture, you gonna have some bumps in the road.”

“It is the duty of governments to create a pro-voter environment that encourages participation, but it is also the responsibility of citizens to make their voices heard.”

“A government reflects the views of those who select it, and if people are unable to cast their ballot because the voting hours aren't convenient for them or because other hurdles have been raised too high we get a less representative government as a result.”

“Never did I think I would live to see the day Jim Crow was resurrected, making repeat appearances in the South. And he has packed his bags, and he has moved North. Something is wrong.”

“Working class men and women deserve a champion. They're tired of people just telling them what they want to hear to get elected and they don't necessarily follow through.”

“You have a voice, you have a vote. Use it.”

“Everybody in the working class is important, whether you're black or white and that's what I want them to feel and know from Our Revolution.”

“Every step of the way, life was hard. I was supposed to be a statistic.”

“We are the only industrialized nation in the world that does not have a Medicare for All type of program, and that's an idea whose time has come. It is the morally right thing to do.”
