In and out of government, I've always been willing to take on complicated, sometimes unpopular, issues and work them through to have a solution.

Not just for the U.S. Senate but it also means for school board and city council. We need to revitalize American democracy. We need to have people at all - all over this country, having the courage to take on big money and demand a set of policies that work for all of us and not just for the few.

I will challenge anybody with regard to my record on LGBT issues.

I very strongly supported the agreement which makes certain that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon.

If you ask me about my views on the environment, on women's rights, on gay rights, I am liberal. I don't have a problem with that at all. Some of my best friends are liberal.

At a time of massive inequality, I think we can raise substantial sums of revenue to address the needs of working families, the elderly, and the children, by asking those people who are doing phenomenally well to start paying their fair share.

I think that extreme right wing views are not what the American people are looking for right now. They want to see us create jobs.
