We've got to create more good jobs with rising incomes.

When I was young, I really identified with Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, particularly the character of Jo. The book was written at a time when there weren't as many options for women and girls as there are now. Jo really struggled with that. She wanted to write, to work, to help her family.

The facts are - I did say I hoped it [Trans-Pacific Partnership] would be a good deal, but when it was negotiated which I was not responsible for, I concluded it wasn't. I wrote about that in my book.

If men like [Ken] Starr and his allies could ignore the Constitution and abuse power for ideological and malicious ends to topple a President, I feared for my country.

I will do everything that I can to make sure that you have good jobs, with rising incomes, that your kids have good educations from preschool through college.

I have stood up and I have represented my constituents to the best of my abilities, and I'm very proud of that.

Of all the jobs I've had, sliming fish was pretty good preparation for life in Washington.
