If he wants to attack me personally, he can, if he wants to attack my record, the reality is that the people of the state of New Jersey who elected me statewide are very proud of the work that I did, the change that we made in Newark, the transformation going on in Sioux City.

We have nearly 35,000 donors who have been helping us make this goal. We've raised $ 1.5 million plus.

I don't believe people should stay in this just to stay in it, you either have a trajectory to win or not. And right now, we don't raise $ 1.7 million, we won't be able to make the investments necessary.

We're never going to solve this crisis if we have to wait for it to personally affect us or our neighborhood or our community before we demand action.

First of all I want to say: no. I want to translate that into Spanish: No.

We are never going to solve this crisis if we have to wait for it to personally affect us or our neighborhood or our community before we demand action, i have seen what the carnage creates in communities like mine, because we forget -- national shootings, these mass shootings are tragedies, but the majority of the homicide victims come from neighborhoods like mine.

Look, there are a lot of people watching at home right now, listening to us, that are afraid because they are in crisis.

Learning about how to duck, cover, hide, for fear that there is a mass shooter roaming the hallways of their school.

I hear about it all the time. Booker wants to take away your hamburger, well, that is the kind of lies and fear-mongering that they spread out there,that somehow the Democrats want to get rid of hamburgers.

We are facing a dual crisis of climate change and economic inequality, without immediate action, we risk an incredible human toll from disasters, health impacts, rising national security threats, and trillions of dollars in economic losses.

This is not a referendum on one guy in one office ; this is a referendum on us and who we are going to be to each other. This is one of those moral moments in our nation that is going to define the moral character of our country.

We are not even being called back in session to get something done as if the clock is not ticking before we have another mass shooting in America.

These acts of hatred do not happen in a vacuum, they are harvested only once they have been planted.

There is no neutrality in this fight, you are either an agent of justice or you are contributing to the problem.

We have the power to act, and we can act to legislate safety even if we can not legislate love.

I know I can not separate the office I seek from who I am. by Cory Booker

I know I can not separate the office I seek from who I am.

We may be having a primary debate right now, but we know we are going to close ranks behind the candidate.

We lost the state of Michigan because everybody from Republicans to Russians were targeting the suppression of African American voters, we need to say that.

This is one of those instances where the house was set on fire and you claimed responsibility for those laws. And you can't just now come out with a plan to put out that fire.
