I'm a progressive who likes to get things done.

I have many, many old friends, and I always think that it`s important, when you get into politics, to have friends you had before you were in politics and to understand what`s on their minds.

We Democrats believe in an America where no matter who you are or where you come from, you should have an equal shot at success.

We have to do more to make it easier for parents to balance work and family. If you left college with a ton of loans, it`s not enough just to make college more affordable. You need help right now with the debt you already have.

We need to make equal pay and equal opportunity for women and girls a reality so women's rights are human rights once and for all.

We regret mistakes were made.

Our largest companies should not be able to get away with paying hardly anything at all. It is insulting when they engage in these games like moving their headquarters over to a foreign country, on paper, not in reality, just to take advantage of lower tax breaks.
