We need to restore the soul of this nation. We need to rebuild the middle class and make it work for everyone, not just those at the top.
I believe that we can and must come together as a nation to heal the wounds of the past and build a more perfect union for all Americans.
I believe that we need to stand up to bullies and protect the most vulnerable among us.
We need to protect Social Security and Medicare for future generations. It's a promise we've made to our seniors.
