My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.

We have a lot of issues with corporate power that have to be addressed. My plan takes us further and it would do the job.

I was a baseball fan, at any rate.

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

I really do hope that we have a woman president in my lifetime.

I'm very proud that I was a Goldwater Girl. And then my political beliefs changed over time.

I started off as a young lawyer working against discrimination against African-American children in schools and in the criminal justice system. I worked to make sure that kids with disabilities could get a public education, something that I care very much about. I have worked with Latinos - one of my first jobs in politics was down in south Texas registering Latino citizens to be able to vote. So I have a deep devotion to making sure that an every American feels like he or she has a place in our country.
