Bill Clinton: “I hope we'll use this time to pay down our debt and get this country out of debt for the first time since 1835.”

I am deeply grateful for his dedication to our beloved home state of Arkansas, and proud to stand alongside him in accepting this gift.

And I think we are facing challenges today without precedent in our history.

Championed human dignity

I hope that people will still believe in our democratic system enough to stick with it and keep pushing to make it work.
