I couldn't be more proud of my work as a progressive.

People used to feel oddly empowered to tell me all the reasons I couldn't win. Because I was a woman. Because I was a lesbian. Because I was from the West Side of Manhattan.

I'm in a position where, if you have the ability, you should use it well. To get things done.
