I strongly believe that for serious and violent criminals, we must absolutely hold them accountable for their crimes and send them to prison.

In order to find balance, I feel very strongly about two things in particular in terms of routine. Work out, and eat well.

I want to use my position of leadership to help move along at a faster pace what I believe and know the Obama administration wants to do around the urgency of climate change.

Everybody will make mistakes, and for some that mistake will rise to the level of being a crime.

To change criminal justice policy in any meaningful way means to propose changing a very longstanding system. It's not realistic to think you can do it overnight.

I've been a proud mentor to many women seeking public office, because I believe we need more women at all levels of government. Women have an equal stake in our future and should have an equal voice in our politics. These are challenging times, but I believe getting more women to run for office is a big part of the solution.

I'm one of the luckiest people on Earth.
