U.S. State Secretaries of State

Vote because our rights matter. Our lives matter. Our planet matters and because you matter.

Vote for all the people who were denied for centuries this basic right of citizenship, the enslaved and their descendants, who still had to fight for the vote 100 years after the 13th Amendment. Women who went to jail for demanding…

I trust the scientists, and it is the scientists who created and approved this vaccine. So I urge everyone, when it is your turn, get vaccinated. It's about saving your life, the life of your family members and the life of your community.

Vote for all the people who were denied for centuries this basic right of citizenship, the enslaved and their descendants, who still had to fight for the vote 100 years after the 13th Amendment. Women who went to jail for demanding…

As Secretary of State, I'm guided by the principle of one person, one vote, and that's what national popular vote does.

Senator Kamala Harris was elected vice president on Saturday.

You know, people are hurting right now, they are hurting, and we need to get the relief to them immediately and the one thing you should not be doing is after the work went into the pill holding up, when by the end of the month people are…

The fact that her becoming vice president means that there are no black women in the Senate is really the question that we should be asking why that is as opposed to why black women's representation in the United States Senate comes down…

There's been -- there's been a lot of destruction that has happened in four years, which is going to require a lot of work for repair, much less leapfrogging over that to get to where we could have been, even if we had moved incrementally.

And, again, it gets back to perhaps having a president in place who is going to say, as Joe Biden has said, that he would sign it, and green-lighting it in that way, which is contrary to what we have seen with so many good pieces of…

I have to believe that, at some point, reality will set in and that everyone will understand that we need to govern.

In my time in the Senate, the four years I have been here, I've seen the power of an individual senator... They have the opportunity to elect not one but two senators who could change the ballot.

As far as I'm concerned, Georgia, Columbus, 2020 ain't over until January 5th. That's when we'll get this done because as you know everything is at stake.

I can see it happening. I can see a day where it is possible. We're going to have to -- we're going to have to fight for it.

The American people have spoken. This election is over. We won.

This vaccine -- these vaccines, the Pfizer and Moderna, the two that are out right now will save lives. They will save lives.

I hope and I believe that anybody who is in a position of leadership should be urging all Americans, again, regardless of party affiliation, should be encouraging them that when it's they're time that they get this vaccine and that they…

We were elected to do a job and we intend to do that job and we hope we can do it with as many people as possible participating.

It is my hope and prayer, and Joe Biden has said it unambiguously, that we intend to work across party lines.

As far as I' m concerned, Georgia, Columbus, 2020 ain't over until January 5th. That's when we'll get this done because as you know everything is at stake.

We intend to work across party lines. The biggest challenges, the crises that are fun and center and our nation don't see party lines and if we are truly leaders, each of us in these positions, we've got to find a way to work together.

We absolutely intend to work closely with all people in the United States Congress, regardless of their party affiliation. But on some issues, we just know and have to believe that if we have the majority in the Senate, it may be easier to…

Why are so many powerful people trying to make it so difficult for us to vote? We have to ask the question why. And we know the answer. Because they know our power. They know when we vote things change. They know when we vote we win.

There has been, I think, a conscious and a purposeful effort by the current administration to undo government in every of its forms. And we are going to -- we have a whole lot of work ahead of us.
