Politics is about the improvement of people's lives. It's about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people.

I don't think politics has anything to do with left, right, or center. It has to do with trying to do right by people.

A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of people's lives, a politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail.

Politics isn't about big money or power games it's about the improvement of people's lives.

Our politics are our deepest form of expression: they mirror our past experiences and reflect our dreams and aspirations for the future.
