"The people at the top divide us by party, by race, by gender, by religion, by culture. So we don't notice that they are picking our pockets, that they are de-funding our schools, that they are gutting our health care, that they are raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for themselves.

And that's why I decided to run, because I believe we have a responsibility to leave our children something better than what we inherited."
