I have loved to cook since I was a child in my mother's kitchen. If I don't have time to cook, I'll just read a cookbook.

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

No woman should be told she can't make her own decisions about her body. If women's reproductive rights come under attack, I will be standing up for women.

I believe that a child going without an education is a crime.

Eighty-two percent of prisoners in the United States are high-school dropouts. A high-school dropout between the ages of 30 and 34 is two-thirds more likely to be in jail, or to have been in jail, or to be dead.

What's important for my daughter to know is that... if you are fortunate to have opportunity, it is your duty to make sure other people have those opportunities as well.

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.
