“I have been really furious about the constant charges being lobbed aga...” — Ayanna Pressley Quote

I have been really furious about the constant charges being lobbed against me about identity politics that, by the way, are only lobbed against women and candidates of color.

My mother did not raise me to ask for permission to lead.

One of my priorities is criminal justice reform, and there is certainly bipartisan appetite for that. I think we need to eliminate the cash bail system. We need to eliminate mandatory minimums. We need sentencing reform. I think we need parole reform as well.

Making progress on longstanding challenges requires a different lens and a new approach.

Voters like to fall in love with presidential candidates, at least a little bit.

I believe that presidential candidates actually have a responsibility to point out substantive differences: to point out perspectives that are different.

Often, when we support the 'right' causes and candidates, we fail to recognize that with progress comes sacrifice. That sacrifice might mean that you are no longer the obvious choice for the job. Your job security may no longer be a given.

We need candidates who are able to reach out to young voters, women voters.

I want to make sure my candidates have my support. We are a family, we always go together.
