The people of New York took a big chance on me. And I'm well aware of that.

First, we parents have to back up school authority and quit making excuses for our kids when they misbehave.

You know, the vibrancy of the black church, the black businesses that employ so many people, the opportunities that so many families are working to provide for their kids. There's a lot that we should be proud of and we should be supporting and lifting up.

I think that being in politics, being in leadership should be as much about listening as talking. That's how I think you can get the information and sort of pick up the nuance that will enable you to do the best possible job.

I think that there is a strong argument that our [USA's] leadership, our strength, our influence begins with having an economy that is producing good jobs with rising incomes, and I see the connection there.

I'll protect and expand access to no-copay birth control and safe, legal abortion.

I still support the right of local communities to make up their own minds about whether or not they want to permit fracking.
