As A Young Lawyer, I Learned To Try To Find Common Ground With People, To Look For A Human Connection. When I Got To The Senate, Despite The Fact That There Were A Lot Of People Who Didn't Want Me To Get There - And Were Sure They'd Never Even Talk To Me, Let Alone Work With Me - I Really Tried To Do The Job I Was Sent There To Do By The People Of New York, Which Was To Get Things Done For My Constituents. I Worked With Republicans, And We Found A Lot Of Common Ground. It Isn't Easy, But It's Part Of What We Have To Do In Politics Today.

Affordable Care Act

I Think People Do Want Change, But We Want To Make Sure That The Change Will Actually Help People. And That's Why I Reject The Change Agenda That Donald Trump Has.

I Am Going To Ensure That Lgbtq Americans Have Full Equality Under The Law And Address The Urgent Crisis Of Violence Against Transgender Women Of Color.

The United States Has Kept The Peace Through Our Alliances. Donald Trump Wants To Tear Up Our Alliances. I Think It Makes The World Safer And, Frankly, It Makes The United States Safer.

When I Was A Senator From New York, I Represented And Worked With So Many Talented Principled People Who Made Their Living In Finance. But Even Thought I Represented Them And Did All I Could To Make Sure They Continued To Prosper, I Called For Closing The Carried Interest Loophole And Addressing Skyrocketing Ceo Pay. I Also Was Calling In '06, '07 For Doing Something About The Mortgage Crisis, Because I Saw Every Day From Wall Street Literally To Main Streets Across New York How A Well-functioning Financial System Is Essential.

Between The Marketplace And Government There Exists All Of That Which Makes Life Worth Living-family Life, Spiritual Life, The Art And Culture That Make Our Spirits Soar.

The United States Compared To A Number Of Our Competitors Is The Only Government In The World With Any Kind Of Safeguards, Any Kind Of Checks And Balances. They May In Many Respects Need To Be Strengthened And People Need To Be Reassured, And They Need To Have Their Protections Embodied In Law.

Relationships Are At The Core Of Any Political System And Economic System - Any Family - And I Think We Drifted Away From Understanding That In Our Country. The People-to-people Level Is Critical.

You Will Not Find That I Ever Changed A View Or A Vote Because Of Any Donation That I Ever Received.

I Have Absolutely No Interest In Running For President Again.

Politics Is Like Sausage Being Made. It Is Unsavory, And It Always Has Been That Way, But We Usually End Up Where We Need To Be.

There Is Such A Bias Against People Who Have Led Successful And/or Complicated Lives. You Know, The Divestment Of Assets, The Stripping Of All Kinds Of Positions, The Sale Of Stocks. It Just Becomes Very Onerous And Unnecessary.

The Republicans Want To Repeal The Affordable Care Act, I Want To Improve It. I Want To Build On It, Get The Costs Down, Get Prescription Drug Costs Down.
