The key to - and magic of - good campaigns is when you pull people together. You unite them around a common theme.

Between the fundraising, being away from family, the environment of hyperpartisanship, Washington is really stressing people out.

I traveled the country for a year and a half helping Hillary Clinton to try to become president.

When I talk about 'working class,' I don't talk about 'white working class,'. I talk about 'working class,' and a third of working class people are people of color. If you are black, white, brown, gay, straight, you want a good job. There is no more unifying theme than that.

My grandparents and my mom prayed the rosary a lot, and later in life, I had a priest friend of mine teach me centering prayer, based on Father Thomas Keating's work. That led to practicing different kinds of meditation off and on as I got older.

I think I know a lot about campaigns.

Governorships and Senate seats are the most common stepping-stone offices for presidential campaigns, and U.S. House seats are the most common stepping-stone positions for statewide campaigns.

In my early campaigns, people would sometimes come up to me at a grocery store or at a shopping mall and say, 'I know you from somewhere.'

You have to remember what a super PAC is: a bunch of wealthy donors who want to send a message traditionally other campaigns don't do. This is the problem with the dark money that's involved in politics right now.
